Masks or Walls or Both?
While I was thinking about it, how do you protect yourself? Build a wall or wear a mask? Or perhaps both? Poetry only, in any form.

Build another self

Made of broken pieces

Glass walls around me

You can never hurt me again

I'm a warrior

Words only make me stronger

Show me your pity

But save it for yourself

Mirrors the glass around me

Now I can see the other me

Depressed, crying non stop

How did I end up there?

A knife on the floor

Should I end me or face me?

Can't escape my fate

This cell of mine

See me smile like I'm ok

One look at my shade

She is dying slowly

Can you save it?

Why do I exist?

A burden for this prison I am

I don't like this anymore

Pretend something I'm not

Confused meanings of happy and sad

Why am I alive?

Why can't I die?

Desperate to break the wall

I don't like this anymore

Two sides of me out of control

Knife on the floor

And an armor on the wall

Two in the body of one

How of an irony is that?

Come out, come out

Time to face each other.
