Brick Wall

A Poem

I know you want to get to me but it’s going to be hard It’s not easy to find the best way to break through a brick wall

It’s not that I am hiding but I like the quiet back here surrounded by bricks a place to call my own

It’s a protective mechanism for the parts of me that hurt because behind this brick wall I can pretend I am healed

But the truth is that I prefer it this way out of sight, out of mind alone with self

One by one I built myself in Brick by brick I shrunk myself thin

This brick wall is my protector a stalwart companion to my jagged psyche a place to call home
