Caught in the crossfire
Of the drama called life
Would learn to take cover
Or get hurt in the strife.
Began to discern
That walls could serve as shield
To keep away the pain
And thus began to build.
On every side they rose
The left, right, back and front
The fort that kept you safe
Began to make you distant.
Break down the walls
End the isolation
Let those feelings through
Reach out build connections.
And though your heart may break
A risk that's worth taking
It's love, joy and friendships
That make life worth living.
