Walls.
I build them up only to tear them down.
I let people in and they shut me down.
So I build up my walls of cinder block stone,
To try and safely secure my home.
They call me out of the safety I've found.
They tell me come out. I'm cool to be around.
They draw me out slowly believing their lies.
Then they fire their arrows and everything dies.
So I lock myself up in the cold and damp.
The halls are empty of the entire camp.
The echoing silence rings in my ears.
And I find I've been alone all of these years.
And slowly but suddenly in you came.
You tore down my walls and remembered my name.
You told me I was loved and wasn't alone.
You found yourself slowly welcomed in my home.
All of the sudden I could feel the sun.
I smiled said "Surely there is no one
Who could brighten me smile the way you do.
Or color me pink when I'm feeling blue."
So I tore down my walls and I let you in
I broke down my barriers prepared to begin
This time I'm new I'm whole and I'm free
And nothing out their is going to stop me!
