A window in the wall

I built a wall,

To protect myself.

I ran away,

To not fall again.

I hated,

So I don't have to

Suffer the love ache.

I don't laugh,

So that when tears come,

I am ready for them.

I make no friends,

So that they don't hurt me.

I don't enjoy life,

'Cause agony is just around the corner.

But even then,

Even after restraining myself,

I am not living.

Maybe,

I needn't break the wall,

Just make a small window,

For life to come in.
