Compartmentalization

In walls of my mind, I build small spaces..
Each locked box holds stories, hiding faces.
Life dissected, neatly compartmentalized..
I shuffle through words, keeping pain disguised.

But in thoughts confined, truth seeks emancipation..
Yearning for unity, escaping separation.
For in bringing fragments together, I find release..
A patchwork poem that grants my soul inner peace.
