Walls

A boy sits in the shadows cast by a wall of feelings and fears. A childhood of 
misleading has frozen his heart and stolen his tears.

The boy grows into a man and again tries to climb the wall. Many times he's tried 
before, every time has resulted in a fall.

Time has passed and now he finally stands strong and tall. Guided by all 
lessons learned he now realizes that a strong heart and mind can make his 
walls small.
