At first, I started with one brick.
I made myself a small fountain only about half a foot tall.
People could come over my wall, but they had to be a bit mindful so they didn’t hurt themselves.
Times were great when it was just foundation,
but that was then.
And now,
My wall now stands nine feet tall.
I took time to build my wall so no one can bring it down.
No one can come over my wall, and I don’t want to leave.
Sure, it gets lonely, but I’d rather that than anything else.
I’d rather not know or care what happens to the ones I loved as long as I don’t get hurt.
I..I want this wall up.
And besides,
Even if I wanted it down it’s too strong.
I spent years making this wall.
It’s my safe space.
And it’s best if no one gets in,
Or out.
