I built a wall, unyielding, high,
A fortress strong against the sky.
My heart, now hardened, won’t reveal,
The fragile cracks I choose to seal.
A sturdy front, I hold my ground,
Yet shadows linger all around.
My thoughts grow dark, their weight persists,
In emptiness, my soul exists.
A blank facade is what they see,
But pain inside, it rages free.
The brighter light, the darker shade,
In endless night, I am betrayed.
Through days and months and years untold,
I dwell in darkness, bitter, cold.
Solitude, my solemn space,
Where none can harm, where fears erase.
Yet deep inside, I long to find,
A spark of hope to soothe my mind.
Until that day, I stand, conceal,
The wounds within I cannot heal.
