Before the boy built the wall around himself, he felt overwhelmed, sad and petrified. He felt shattered by the weight of his painful feelings. He carried a heavy sense of abandonment. His joy and happiness had faded away. He felt hollow because there was only darkness in his heart. He felt invisible like he didn’t matter to anyone around him. He felt suffocated by the weight of hurt, loneliness, and isolation. These painful feelings left him defenseless unsafe, and broken apart.
