I built a wall
around my heart,
and swore
I'd never let you in
but the more time that
I spend with you,
allows the beats
to crack
the cement.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be
She speaks to me fondly
of passions and talents,
of guitars and stars,
with such breathless intensity
then stops short and
apologises
for speaking at all.
All because somewhere in her life,
someone she loved broke her heart
by ignoring
her beautiful words
and telling her to
shut up,

nobody cares.

Behind the Words
We spill our pain across the pages.
But we must smile when it is read.

Our words are tales of healing light.
So hide your tears behind a mask,
And save them for a quiet night.

The title is fine. The structure is quite short, but it is a free-verse so I don't mind. (Constructive criticism).
