You see these walls in front of me <br />The ones I use to shield me <br />Made over time to save me <br />From what you did <br />That hurt me <br />The hope that builds them <br />Is what also brings them down <br />It seems like a never-ending story <br />Where each brick is a reminder of the hurt <br />That brought them down <br />These walls are my protection <br />From the pain that I dread <br />From each of you <br />Who I loved <br />That hurt me bad<br /><br />Natalie Rosario<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/knocking-down-the-walls-i-built/
