Glass Walls

Glass walls and fake notions
Fake love but real emotions

I'm shielded but vulnerable
This feeling is incontrollable

Everything I believed was a lie
Fairytale endings will just pass me by
I'm not the man I thought I would be
The future is bright but why can't I see?

Push the envelope further
Love it hard but don't hurt her
Love her caramel skin
The original Werther's

Fight the lies in your life 
Learn to pick up the knife
And spread all the love
Til the portions are right

Go above and beyond
Live in danger like bond
And succeed in this quest 
Than the lord put you on

My glass walls have a crack
I won't take it all back
So much pain in my life my main thought is attack

But I'll let it all shatter 
Cuz it don't really matter
As the glass hits the floor I'll see smiles and hear laughter

When the glass hits the floor, barriers will shatter! Sometimes for years, the above is all that happens! Great write. Thanks for sharing and a 7.

Very nice free verse, Terance. Some battles in life are not worth fighting because they don't really matter.;)
