I was so busy building a wall to keep everyone out that I didn’t realize I was locking myself in. Now I’m completely trapped within myself and the civil war for my soul begins. I’m left alone to tear down a wall that was built to keep hundreds out. My monsters are winning this war and I will soon perish in my doubt. A vulture is the only thing I can see mocking me from the boundaries of my wall. Soon it will be his time to dine as I think I’ll leave my body by nightfall.

My Great Wall
I was so busy building a wall to keep everyone out that I didn’t realize I was locking myself in. Now I’m completely trapped within myself and the civil war for my soul begins. I’m left alone to tear down a wall that was built to keep hundreds out. My monsters are winning this war and I will soon perish in my doubt. A vulture is the only thing I can see mocking me from the boundaries of my wall. Soon it will be his time to dine as I think I’ll leave my body by nightfall.
