Description
Tell them all your secrets.They'll never tell a soul.
They'll keep you standing up
When your body's had its toll.
Beat them in your anger.
They'll never scream or cry.
They'll let you vent your feelings
And never pester why.
Hide within their safety.
They'll keep you tucked away.
They'll let in just enough light
For you to know it's day.

I like how it sound like an actual entity, like the way you would think of an enchanted tree. your imagery makes it sound like a guardian, with actual warmth and affection as opposed to the reality of what it really is. This actually makes me thing of the time my friend would tell how he would treat the wall in his room. It was exactly like this, so i like how its very relatable. Very well done. Great composition, the message is short but has a lot of volume and leaves room for the imagination.

Heh yeah. Good stuff. The way you portray them reminds me of God, even if that isn't what you intended.

You successfully keep your rhythm throughout. Very well done. I like how in the first two stanzas the poem uses the walls almost catharticly (yes, I just made that a word) and then in the last, the walls are used as guards. And moreso, that this could be physical walls, but also metaphorical walls. Like the ones we build up inside us.
I like. Very lovely.

I love the idea, and even more so as you portrayed the walls both as comfort but also in some respects as emprisonment with the daylight line, very nice!
