A moveable Barrier
A small thing about my life with the 'barrier'.
A moveable barrier
Dream of a wall that protects
But also contains yourself
One that you can't come out of until your safe
Your body reacts, shields itself even from the wielder
For most of my life, I didn't speak unless I wanted to
This is the barrier inside and around me
It shields me from people but holds me back
I didn't even realize it till now
The world won't understand until it's told
The greatest challenge for me and others is to speak
We have to gather the courage to voice our thoughts
Even in the face of doubt and fear
This barrier is a part of me
I would never leave it behind
Otherwise I would collapse under shackles of stress
And lose who I am to madness
The courage to stand and speak is the most enlightening
Worthy of any living being in life
It is a small but simple thing
And it made a big difference to me.
