"Don't judge a book by its cover"
At least that's what they say
But what if the book has no cover
Standing alone among a crowd of other books
Its contents open for all to see
Would you look at it differently?

Without its cover a book is still a book
Just like without their walls a person is a person
Yet with or without a wall or a cover
A person still hurts inside
The untold story of their life,
Lies within their heart

So while you laugh and joke remember this well
You could be the reason their life is saved
Or the reason they are dead

So when you see that person sitting alone
Go over and say hi
Smile and make a friend
Because you never know who's hurting
Until the very end

Walls are not there to keep people out
But to see who cares enough to tear them down
So be the knight who climbs the wall
And saves the girl from her demons
Or be the fire that melts the ice
That surrounds that broken heart
Because you never know what you have...till it's gone

I really feel the same way a lot of times. It's hard to get to know people, but often the people who hide themselves away are ones I can relate to the most. They are the broken people who won't break you. And maybe the days will just slightly get better
