Brick walls are incredible structures
The builder must realize the need for the wall,
then for many days must painstakingly
place mortar between bricks.
They must build with intention.
If not, it is no longer a wall
it will be left to decay in the rain.
However,
once finished it will stand strong against the weather,
impede prying eyes and thieves,
dissuade creatures and man alike,

The nature of the brick wall is this:
It only takes a single person
willing enough to remove that brick,
to break the mortar and push the brick through.
Their motivation
does not matter
so long as they find the reason for it being built.
Do I wish to see
or should i look away,
will blindness set me free,
what one can't see can't sway.

If horrors do invade
should I not divide
myself from them evade
and cast them from my mind.

My problems they are not.
I have no cause to fear,
some things are best forgot
they could not happen here.

If I myself involve
in others whims and woes,
in me it might revolve
the light on me then throws.

I try so not to care
my blindness keeps me clear,
pretend nothing is there.
Should help remove the fear.

Although I hide myself away
the one thing I do see
If I help not, this righteous sway
would anyone help me.

Take away distraction
Remove all the fear and lies
And perhaps I'll see
The person deep inside me
Who has always been right there.

telling fake tales
of your ******
up childhood, isn't
going to make it
better or delete
all the nasty memories.
