The case against walls
I did not cause this wall
around you to be built
yet I must throw myself,
upon its sword up to the hilt?
Just what do you achieve
by letting no one in
is it fair to make the innocent pay
for someone elses sin?
Have you possibly considered
that dwelling in the past
does more to sustain misery
by making those moments last?
I cannot help but think
you would be better served
by letting people in, to show
you just what you deserved
And would it not be better
to risk losing dreams you've known
than to sit there safe behind your wall
protected but alone
