Half Way

on a blank canvas i begin painting as one builts a great big wall So high, trapped in myself Shut away from life's hurt Dreaming of greener pastures One with happiness Safe in my Dreams, An apparition of what life could offer Feeling unworthy of a place Left with cruel words Making one feel bad about myself, in the reflection upon the ripples a shattered illusion on the surface breaks Touched by my inner most desire, Like a child's first steps Happy when finding one's feet, Slowly learning to trust your feelings Smiling when they come back again climbing this wall nervously Walking to the summit, Dreaming of love A vision of happiness, Escaping my prison Staring off into the stars At ease with the distance, So close, yet so far
