The Wall

She gave a lot of excuses So many reason why… Reasons why she couldn’t try She would sometimes cry Make a scene And go back to her life of sin Cheating herself And nobody else She thought she was smart And she would tell them this and that She told them about the wall The wall that was responsible for her fall She would exaggerate about its height “Oh! What a sight!” she would cry “It’s so tall!” But she was only fooling herself There was really no wall Her fears and imagination had teamed up They created a wall They built it She supported it And to her, it existed What a prey…on her they feasted! She was her own worst enemy Building nonexistent walls all around her Walls that would deter her… …Walls that were stopping her from being who she should have been A figment of her imagination What an evil creation! A wall seen… Seen only by her! What a waste of talent! What a waste of a beautiful destiny! Why!!! Tear down the walls, pretty one! Recreate a new path! Forge on! Don’t hold back your greatness! Be the you you were created to be! The you you were called to be! Not the you decorated with fear! You are great! Created perfectly by God! Be the you He created you to be! Not the you the world wants you to be!
