That you can't see
A wall that is
Inside of me
It surrounds my heart
And hides my tears
And when I scream
Nobody hears.
When I build
The wall tile by tile
I never laugh
And never smile.
It shelters me from
The outside hell
It masks me from
What words can't tell.
But I'm also trapped
Inside my cage
Unable to release
My grief and rage
So please if you will,
Find the mistake
That’s in my perfect barrier
That you must break.
If the slightest light
Leak through to me
The wall WILL break
And I'll be free.
I built the wall
To be life-long
But you must be patient
And please hold on.
You destroyed my wall
Tile by tile
And now I’m exposed
Smile by smile.
