I stare blankly at the brick wall before me. I can’t wait here forever. I must go past. But I don’t know. I don’t know what is beyond the wall. Maybe it is a beautiful field, With birds eloquently singing from treetops. Or maybe it is a barren landscape, filled with dread. But I don’t know, and I am too scared to find out. All it would take is one step–one small stride, And I could remove all doubt. But I’d rather sit here than take that chance.

The Brick Wall
I stare blankly at the brick wall before me. I can’t wait here forever. I must go past. But I don’t know. I don’t know what is beyond the wall. Maybe it is a beautiful field, With birds eloquently singing from treetops. Or maybe it is a barren landscape, filled with dread. But I don’t know, and I am too scared to find out. All it would take is one step–one small stride, And I could remove all doubt. But I’d rather sit here than take that chance.
