A few years ago I built a wall The bricks and cement piled up high And I was unreachable behind the wall Everything I was, I thought and felt Securely hidden Behind the wall The gentle rain washed against the wall Every comment every stare Unknowingly doing silent damage The structure becoming weaker after every shower The defense I depended on May not be there for long And as the time goes by The solid structure now crumbles And the hail batters and erodes Dents turn to chips turn to cracks Turn to holes And everything I feel Can no longer be protected Or simply hidden away The defense has almost gone And I am protected no more

The Wall
A few years ago I built a wall The bricks and cement piled up high And I was unreachable behind the wall Everything I was, I thought and felt Securely hidden Behind the wall The gentle rain washed against the wall Every comment every stare Unknowingly doing silent damage The structure becoming weaker after every shower The defense I depended on May not be there for long And as the time goes by The solid structure now crumbles And the hail batters and erodes Dents turn to chips turn to cracks Turn to holes And everything I feel Can no longer be protected Or simply hidden away The defense has almost gone And I am protected no more
