That Wall

that wall 
is high 
and it would take 
the right mass
to make it over
and then i'll 
probaly touch 
the sky

that wall
is the other side 
to happiness 
exempt 
beggings 
contempt 
decision 
rising 
i'm rising 
to reach the top 
of that wall 
to take a breath and 
stair at 
where i've 
come from and 
where i'm heading 
oh that wall
