Walls

our walls stand tall

mental or not,

our biased sight see
what it needs to,
   our hearing is indifferent
   but inside we are safe;
no one is harmed
   no one is disfigured
   no one is criminal
under the laws of
   our own mental courts;
   our walls stand tall
and protect us
   against ourselves before
   others can do us harm.
