Walls

We build up our walls
Higher and higher
Barricading ourselves in
In our own stereotypes
We can't step outside of our box

We build up our walls
Higher and higher
Locking others out
Out of our worlds
We can't let them into our truths

Lies, half-truths, evasions, ignorance
Add on another brick, and another
Higher and higher
Our walls must climb as our reputations do
Our walls must be thick and strong
With no holes to peek through
No part of ourselves that is true
