Scale My Wall
I would like someone to care enough
Be brave and at least try
Find a ladder taller than treetops
Climb over my wall and say hi
That would be miraculous
No one dares come close
Cannot seem to attract any company
Too much wicked water around my post
How do you dam moat protecting
Parts hidden from the rest of the world
Do you let down the gates surrounding?
Fortress leaving carpet unfurled
How do you open organs up?
When you make walls shutting out
Spiral into solitude
One day you'll be happy without
The answers you will not find in yourself
At least never on your own
Won't discover our purpose in life
Until we put down the cell phone
Maybe it is the technology
Distracting from walls each must scale
You need to hit the power button
Reach the top without fail
