The Canyon Behind Me

Why do we erect walls? For protection and security. And why did I erect this invisible yet impenetrable wall? Definitely to protect my feeble emotions. It also gives me a false sense of security. With the presence of this wall, no one can infiltrate in my heart and invade there. And though I myself have erected this wall, even I can’t climb it over. It’s not that I didn’t try to cross the wall and jump to the other side, but I learned that it only hurts. And so I’m accepting this wall as a part of my belonging. And my world is divided into here where I am now and the canyon behind me. The canyon that will swallow me whole if I try to climb over the wall. The very wall that I myself put up...

The paradox is I don’t know which side of the wall I’m facing.
