The Wall

I drive past the building that used to be Kmart The side wall I once met with my car making a dart I was 17 and at the lowest part of my life On medication that sadly furthered my strife I survived that wall over 20 years ago Never again letting myself ever go that low That wall is a terrifying reminder of mortality And a source of gratitude with highest gravity Just like one day my life will pass So too will that wall turn to grass Until we meet again mister wall I stand tall loving the long haul
