The Wall

The wall The safe space that I go I feel power -Yet perplexed Most times, feeling all alone Me wall is impenetrable It can block a strong stormy wind Yet its permeable Its allows a calm breeze to blow in My wall has a purpose Resolving all my troubles and fears Yet vulnerable - Im aware I've learned to project throughout the years A wall keeps people out Unfortunately, it keeps us captive from within It protects us from foes At the expense of losing many friends Walls have consequences This could truly be called the great divide While we suffer in isolation Relationships get fractured in our lives The wall that was erected To provide shelter from the storm Has created an issue An illusionary solution - a deviation from the norm For the walls to come down An awareness must sink in To wall people out Isn't a solution - and nobody wins
