Stop.
Look around.
Take in all that you see.
Now look at me.

Hello.
How are you?
Scramble for an answer.
Now reply to me.

Fine.
Are you?
Think about it hard.
Now tell me again.

No.
The truth.
Let it all out.
Now quick lock it down.

Don't.
Emotions kill.
Keep them inside.
Now they hurt only you.

Protect.
Yourself, them.
Separate yourself from others.
Isolation is salvation.

======================================================
Sometimes we put up walls to protect the ones we love from our true selves, sometimes we put them up to protect ourselves from others.
