To Those Who Guard

We cloak ourselves
in the veils
of indifference
in order to protect ourselves
from those
who wish us harm.
But in doing so,
we also push away
the good people,
and this results
in they
donning that veil.
What we see now
is an entire planet
of people who are
desperately looking for happiness,
but are unwilling
to risk themselves
for it.
