Natasha Neuville Poet Free verse

My Walls

Walls of fire,
Walls of water,
Walls are for great things,
I use my walls to keep strangers out,
I use my walls to hide who I am,
My clothes and everything else I wear, 
Are my walls,
Without my walls I would be nobody,
For that matter,
Anyone without their walls would be no one,
I love my life,
But I need
My walls to hide my emotions, 
And feelings about the 
Stupid nonsense that happens 
All the time,
If it were not for my walls,
Nothing would be good in my life.
