Impenetrable Wall

I know this is temporary
But it doesn’t ease the pain,
Faking who I am for now
Pushing those feelings down again.
The repercussions of doing this
Already fills my head with doubt,
Forcing myself to be present
When I just want to sit this one out.
I can’t pre-empt the future
But if I’m just going from my past,
My world will crash all over again
And I’ll be feeling like an outcast.
If I’ve had the strength to fake this
Why can’t I do this everyday?
I know I possibly could but 
It’s exhausting in every possible way.
This disconnecting feeling 
Is making my world feel quite small,
Friends and family become strangers 
As I build up this impenetrable wall.
