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
