Sunlight Through the Cracks

I see the sunlight through the cracks, And yearn, to feel its rays. I want it to erase the past, Make up for all the cloudy days. I want to feel it on my face, Feel warmth, dance across my skin. I find it harder to resist, As it beckons me from within. It took me years to build this fort, To protect me from such calls, But now I standing here wondering, Who would I be without these walls?
