I used to fear the walls around the strangers

Александра Привалова
I used to fear the walls around the strangers,
The hardest walls defending them from feelings.
Behind the stone they hide from many dangers
The natural resource of thoughts and willings.

I used to think my way is slightly braver,
My mind, it seemed, was always clear and open...
The fact is I'm a rover, not a raver,
And often have no power left for hoping.

I used to fear the walls around the strangers...
I didn't know my own is even colder.
Sometimes it keeps away my friends and changers.
Who wants to help, stays only a beholder.

I didn't know I was unseen and silent,
And no one ever wanted to ignore me.
The world which seemed to be so cruel and violent
Had actually been never placed before me.

And now I find my worries keep on growing,
I've build myself a wall I never wanted.
Please let me out and show the sun is glowing,
Don't leave me in this prison cold and haunted.
