Walls and ice


Masks. We never go a day without them.
Swapping and changing
To fit the people we meet.

That shattered wall
Thrown up, built up, up and up
The façade that never changes
Day to day
In everyway
Pretend you're ok

Bombs and ballistics
Fire at it
Push at it
Bring you to the surface
Pulling off the masks
One. By. One

Smoke and Mirrors
Your true face
Flashes back at you
Distorted and broken
The masks of others
Laughing
Watching
Judging

The Pick and the fire
Burn at the ice
That froze your true self away
Deep within that cold, cold prison
You see what you could be.

Free.
Free of the walls you built
That locked you in
Blocking the light
And Freezing your heart.
Free?

Free to be stared at?
Free to be yourself.
Free to be ridiculed?
Free to be alive.
Free to be
What you want to see
In the world around you.

Take that axe and torch
To walls and cold
Let others see
We're all made of gold.

-Seb (I tried with rhyming)

Happy place

The swishing, Swaying, Towering, Trees. The short leafy shrubs, In shades of greens. From flowers, Short lived, With colour...
