Facade
I walk with a fortress around me,
 My emotions tucked neatly in a dungeon.
 Alone I walk,
 A self-made recluse.
 Past hurt always reminds me
 Never to break the walls down.
 I want to get close to them, 
 But the barriers keep us apart.
 The real me is inside,
 The fake one is out.
 Around them,
 I grasp, reaching for who I am,
 But when I'm with Him,
 My walls are down,
 And the true me shines through.
 I wish I could have that
 With a friend.
