A poem: life, laughter, and love.

Have you ever felt like your past is caving in on you??

Like the walls you built to keep people out are keeping you in too??

Like you tried building a house and you forgot the door.

Now your clawing away at the walls because you don't want to be there anymore. 

I feel like I'm looking down at a prisoner trying to get out of his cage. 

But that little person down there is me clawing at the bars with rage. 

I know that I built these walls around me. 

But now I'm tired of what I see. 

I know there are scars that have their name on my heart. 

But it's time for a new start. 

These walls are too tall for me to climb and to strong for me to break. 

So what is going to take to get them to shake. 

When I'm around you, when you hold my hand.

I'm dizzy and I feel unable to stand. 

But are the scars too hard to heal. 

Is there still enough pieces to steal? 

I thought I could love again, let myself go. 

But then I realized it was just for myself I was putting on that show. 

So I'm sorry if I'm not as open as I should be. 

It's only been a few days but you are everything I've looked for for me. 

But I just don't know how to get out from behind these was keep me in. 

I'm stuck in the middle under their towering heart and I don't even know where to begin.
