We all have walls

We all have our walls. 

Some of us let one wall drop, revealing our audiences. 

Some of us let two walls drop, allowing opposites in, demanding we choose. 

Some of us let three walls drop and think we can hide behind the one remaining. 

When some of us let all four drop, what our walls have heard is no longer secretive and we're exposed, for better or for worse. 

Those who let no walls drop are doomed to pace relentlessly, getting nowhere, within windowless, door-less constraints.
