I built a wall
made of sticks and stones
every hurt every insult
I made my wall higher and higher
closing myself off
locking myself away
My wall crumbled one day
piece by piece, stone by stone
love desolved past wrongs
tearing down my wall
I re-built my wall
using bricks and morter
I built it taller and stronger
for fear of being hurt again
closing myself off
locking myself away
day by day, it grows lonely
closed off, locked away
tired of being alone
I took action
forgiving, forgetting,
brick by brick, hurt by hurt
tearing down my wall
I worked hard to make
now working hard to destroy
it still stands
but I can see over it now
and I see
HOPE!
