I let my walls down for you

I let you inside my boundries

But you weren't alone

You got some intruders with you

Now that you're gone, the intruders remain

Pushing the walls around me

They make a box

I'm stuck in a cubical, where I can only stand

I try to let my walls down little by little but everytime I try, the intruders push against them

Trapping me once again

I named these intruders now

Anxiety, insecurity, depression, stress

I wish they'd leave me alone

But they'll only leave when you let them

I let myself get so enamoured by you

And that was my fault

I unwrap myself from your clutches

Slowly yet steadily

The intruders start to fade, not leave

Slowly, all have faded and gone

And I realised

Your actions let those intruders in

But I kept them in

I let them stay

I trapped myself in my endless nightmare

I chose to keep hurting

I refused to move on

And now that I let myself free

I can see

So much clearly than before

The beauty of the world and the beauty in me

I saw that I deserved the best and saw to it that no one dims my inner light again

My light shines brightly even now
