PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We all have layers,

barriers, defences.

We hide behind them.

Some of us have walls,

where we hide ourselves

inside our own castle.

We like our barriers.

We can hide can't let anyone in

therefore, we can't be hurt. 

If someone tries to break down 

our walls, 

it's not a victory.

It might be to the conqueror.

But in reality,

the wall was unrooted, forcefully.

This could cause us issues,

we are left vulnerable.

Which could lead to other issues,

of anxiety, resentment, and betrayal.

We are now marked with scarred lands, 

which we didn't want. 

The wall is broken,

not easily fixed.

There is another way,

different approach.

Instead of tearing down walls,

why not try to peel us?

This is not used by force,

but broken down over time.

It's not a simple,

quick, and easy solution.

But it's the best way to do it.

Peeling back the layers,

you don't force yourself in.

We give you the layers as they come off.

But each set of layers is guarded,

and you must earn it,

it takes alot of trust.

If you want to move deeper,

If you want to get to our core,

you need to give us time.

This doens't happen

on your time table.

You need to be patient,

and you need to be accepting.

We do not know how to get there,

we only know when to give

you more.

We cross these bridges as they happen,

and when we do,

we give you more of us.

You can get there,

but only if you peel

us like an onion.
