My Wall
It's taken years to build this wall
One loose fitting brick at a time
I can't expect to knock it down
Simply over night
The thoughts I've used for mortar
In this hardening of the heart
The chisel of my consciousness
Isn't quite sure where to start
At times it tends to lean
Over mistakes that I have made
In my rush at selfishness
A weak foundation has been laid
Always is a process
This building up and tearing down
Using bits and pieces
That I find laying around
Years now in the making
The height fits well the crime
But I must dissemble it brick by brick
If I'm to get on with my life
