Other People.

Have always seen me as strong. that was a lie, a disguise. i wore to keep me safe in public. the truth is, "I've always been afraid". of letting anyone get too close. i buikt a wall arround me, a barricade. to hide behind those few times. someone wanted entry to my heart. Love, I thought, was the biggest fraud of all. sleight of hand, designed to hold you, cage you, when flight suited you well. but my wings are unfolding, and I'm learning to fly beyond the barrier of fear. there is freedom in love. but not if you have to hide it.
