A wall unseen.  
Created by perception
What we are told to believe.
No crossing, no climbing.
People on both sides reinforcing its existence.
Without concern for those crossing back and forth.
A wall created to keep in
Keep out.
Perceptions on both sides different
But the same.
For happiness cannot exist on the other side.
Or if so, it is not visible.
Condemned, those people crossing
In their search to find their own way.
Leaving loved ones behind.
A door closed
In one's search for self.
Many falling away.
Perceptions killing selves
Because so many need reassurance.
Until life is valued
And it is enough just to be.
