Fragile Walls

I protect myself with these walls I’ve built, Can’t let them see the pain, can’t show the guilt. There’s so much broken inside my heart, It started within - now it’s tearing apart. No one can tell that I’m dead inside, So I hide behind the walls where I confide. But sometimes I wish that someone could see, The quiet hell that lives within me. If someone could look past the cracks and the scars, See who I am beneath the bars, Maybe the walls would start to fall, And I’d feel something, anything at all.
