The Wall
Your heart full of pain
as you build up your wall,
so they can't see you hurting
and won't see you fall.
Using red striped wrists
to push others away.
Won't let anyone in.
Won't let anyone stay.
The tears that you shed
in the dark of the night,
hide behind a false smile
by dawn's early light.
You put on a plastic smile
so that no one will see
the pain you are holding
not giving to me.
No problem! I'm great!
I'm okay! I am fine!
You say stumbling over
your well rehearsed lines.
I want to help you,
help you to see
how beautiful
you are in me.
I pound and kick
try to scream through the wall
but you won't let me in
and you muffle my call.
Still I'll never give up
no matter your plight.
You are my dear child
I will make all things right.
I'm your Heavenly Father
I never will leave.
Though others forsake you
and your wrists you bleed
By yourself impossible
Life might seem,
but with me possible
are all things indeed!
So, please let me in
Let me break through your wall.
Wrap my arms all around you
so you will not fall.
I love you my daughter!
Tears run down my face.
I need you to trust me
and finish your race.
You don't have to worry
I'll be there for you.
Even while crying
your heart out till two.
I will help you to
tear down your wall
piece by piece
make it crumble and fall
Though it will not be easy
for these things take time.
I'll restore your smile
your reason and rhyme.
I know life is hard
but in time you will see
beside you the whole time
has always been me!
