Stare at me and I stare through you.
Try to break in and still see the same view.
I don’t move through your eyes but that’s just a disguise,
Because my soul is dancing in peace deep inside.
Inside I carry a realm, unknown to you.
A place to retreat, to see things through.
But once again you see the same wall,
A blank expression, a silent call.
It’s no use, you can’t break through.
I’ve spent years building this armour and its spent years with me too.
Validation isn’t needed, as I am content.
You can peer all you want but no hand will be lent.
It’s nothing personal, but that’s almost a lie.
See to you I’ll say it’s not, but to me I feel tied.
A perfect cover, you needn’t know what’s inside.
But ill tell you this now, it’s a euphoric high.
It’s still but ecstatic,
It’s observant but thrilled,
It’s reserved but chaotic,
It’s silent but free-willed.

This poem speaks to me of defenses built from past trauma and fear. A thing that many have experienced to some degree or another. A heart felt read.
