Poetry- Boundaries

Stay away.

Build the wall.

A heart afraid, afraid to fall.

And there are reasons to run,

Reasons to hide.

There are answers for the loss inside.

She won’t share.

Silent she’ll stay.

Hidden behind the face of brave.

Anonymously moving,

Bricks cleverly placed.

To hide the bruising, mistaken disgrace.

She’ll smile a lie,

and grin away the truth.

In a shattered display,

disguised for you.

So you can walk on by,

or smile back but never know

how high her bricks go.

The boundaries erected,

Safe place to be.

Hide the selected pieces

Of what she doesn’t want you to see.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
