Literature Text

From this day on, I build a fence.
It shall be a metal fence built high in the sky.
It shall be unbreakable by man,
Unreachable by their greedy hands,
Untouchable by their toxic skin.
It shall not be tainted, be broken, be rotted.
Never again will I let you touch me.
Never again will I let you touch my heart or teach me to be broken
Never again will I give in to your emotion
Never again will you touch my mind, my weak mind.
You will never find your way into my heart.
I won't let you.
I build a fence that will keep you from me
A fence that will keep me from you.
And no man shall break it and I shall remain inside
Trapped within myself forever.
Because it's safer to be my own.
To be within myself is safer than to be yours.
Than to live in your eternal shadow.
I build a fence.

You just summed up a horrible relationship I went through when I was younger. Beautifully written
