Walls

I build walls to keep from getting hurt
I'll admit
I haven't been hurt that much
When it comes to a "Relationship" which I never had

As a matter of fact
I've only been hurt once
But that pain was enough

To make me build a hundred walls
And then add to that all the "friendships"
I have been through

With people being your friend
Just to get to someone or something else
Just because they want something that you have

All the "friendships" where I got screwed over
And stabbed in the back
All the lies I got told
And all the shit that was said about me
Add it all together
I never really had true friends

That's why I've chosen to build a wall
That wall that keeps me away from people
Not physically
But emotionally
To see how much it would really hurt them
To let people see how much it hurts me

I would never get emotionally attached
And that works for me
But not for alot of people

I have had more than a few people
That tell me that I needed
To take those walls down
And give people a chance to show me
That they are not all bad
I'm not taking that chance again
Not right now
