My Protection

I built four walls
that have taken years
of unforgiving pain
and endless tears

I've built narrow doors
and no windows around me
for only a few are allowed in
all others are turned away kindly

On the outside it may look
like everything is okay
but in the inside I am hurting
and no one understands

Some may look down on this
and consider it isolation
they can call it what they want
cause for me I consider it my protection.
