Got A Wall Up?

Found this picture off a deviantart.com today and couldn’t stop thinking about the idea of having a wall between the people you love; obviously because that is what this picture is portraying.

But than I began to really ponder this picture and the message it is trying to illustrate. I believe it shows that even though people have feelings for each other and even sometimes love comes into play you still can’t help but put a wall in the way. It’s for your own protection; your own sake; just to keep you well awake to the feelings that begin to demonstrate. The feelings that begin to develop even though you try and push them aside; to tell yourself they aren’t real and you can forget about them. All I can say is good luck.

I understand why people put a wall up. They hid. They are ashamed of the problems they have, they don’t want to accept the fact that they are different from the cookie cutter image. They hid. They find something else to hid behind if not a wall; a different person, someone they can hold on to and eventually get attached to. They find love. They find a meaning. The find life.

Until all hell breaks loose, and that certain person decides to run in the opposite direction leaving everything that once was perfect now a living night mare for the other. Bringing back all the lies…the hate…the disappointment…and disapproval of all. Showing again that life is hard and bringing back the idea of the wall, the one thing that used to bring comfort and bliss, but now conveys a darkening feeling. Because now you wonder who that next person is going to be; that is going to break down that barrier, that one person that is going to make you feel comfortable enough to open up again; and that one person that is going to make you hurt the most in the end.

It only takes one time to scare you for the rest of your life. Just be careful of who you open up to. Just because they think they know you, or they think they understand the feelings you are going through. They have NO idea. Everything varies from one person to another, and many people believe they know all. But let me tell you something; if they knew all they wouldn’t be standing in front of YOU explaining that you should open up to them. Wouldn’t you think that if they knew everything they would be a little bit more prominent?
