Barriers.

A pretense,
a facade,
walls,
invisibility cloaks,
bursts of laughter,
moats with no drawbridges,
headphones,
islands with no ships,
a mimed wall,
deserts with no oases,
barriers we must erect,
mind must stay healthy,
we must stay happy,
with smiles,
farcical insipid morbid swiping,
bracing, always bracing,
and never knowing.

Barriers don’t break. I don’t break.
Shall not.
