For so long I've hidden behind these walls, scared of what lay beyond.
Help
appeared just outside the wall, his eyes welcoming, smile so warm.
I'm
fiercely wanting to run into his outstretched arms.
Lost
in my personal maze of protection and destruction.
In
the labyrinth, I tried and tried to find my way out.
This
patient soul waited and waited. I desperately wanted liberation.
Concrete
walls shook and cracked when he pounded at it.
Jungle
madness overtook me, as I stared through the crack into his eyes.
I
gazed upon his loving mask until one day he was gone.
Call
out his name, but I guess he can no longer hear the girl behind the wall.
Home
was supposed to protect me, what happened?
