Barriers & Fences

No-one sees the real me,

The person longing to be free.

To live without this pain and regret.

How I long to just leave and forget.

I hide behind barriers and fences,

Using my false smile & laughter. (my defences)

Only allowing people to see what I want them to.

Two people buried deep inside, splitting me in two.

I wish I could explain the pain I feel.

Hurting me, deep within, festering wounds I cannot heal.

My whole being collapsing, soul imploding,

My personality slowly ebbing away, painfully eroding.
