faces surround dreams shattered,
broken windows call out broken souls.
scars of battle identify
walls.
while walking into this chaos and it's
smell of desparation,
i am eerily at ease.

fear is only for those who create their own.

we build walls to save us from the threat
we build walls to keep our demons out.
we build so many walls, we become the threat.
we build ourselves in.

and i am scarred from tearing yours down.
