My Wall
My Wall
This is my wall
I'm at its center
I built it high
Wanting no one to enter
Daily I toil
To shore up my wall
It is precarious
So easy to fall
The chinks they are many
That I try to fill
That is enough
The wall it holds still
Just when I think
Everything is stable
Along comes another
To test if I'm able
This is too much
I scream and I rant
This is my wall
Breach it, you can't
Suddenly weary
An emotional wreck
My wall it falls inward
The end of my trek
As it collapses
I am not freed
The rubble it crushes
No way to impede
Now I lay buried
By that which I built
Never allowing anyone in
This fortress of guilt
Of what am I guilty ?
Always afraid of the dance
I walled out love
Never gave it a chance
This is my wall
I'm at its center
I built it high
Wanting no one to enter
Daily I toil
To shore up my wall
It is precarious
So easy to fall
The chinks they are many
That I try to fill
That is enough
The wall it holds still
Just when I think
Everything is stable
Along comes another
To test if I'm able
This is too much
I scream and I rant
This is my wall
Breach it, you can't
Suddenly weary
An emotional wreck
My wall it falls inward
The end of my trek
As it collapses
I am not freed
The rubble it crushes
No way to impede
Now I lay buried
By that which I built
Never allowing anyone in
This fortress of guilt
Of what am I guilty ?
Always afraid of the dance
I walled out love
Never gave it a chance
