Wall-to-Wall

I saw this quote online and it amazed because it is TRUE

We build walls to protect ourselves

From the actions and words of those who have the power

To hurt us beyond imagination.

These walls get thicker each time we get hurt and

Acquire an extra layer every time we have to get up

And pick up the pieces of our broken heart and shattered soul.

However, these walls are sometimes what keeps us from enjoying

The simple joys of life that sometimes we fail to recognize.

These walls sometimes protect us too well

Because we end up missing out on so much

Because we are afraid to step out of the boundaries of these sacred walls.

Ever since I read this quote, I have been viewing walls from a whole different perspective"

"The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy"

Teddy Geiger wrote a song: "These Walls", you guys should listen to it.

Remember: Walls can't always keep us safe. Sooner, or later, we have to step outside because there's love outside of the walls we build.
