The Wall

Two days ago while I was downtown

Just watching the flashing lights

I decided to start building a wall

That no one could get by

I envisioned where it would begin

And also where it would end

And when I got home that night

My work started to begin

I started at the most vulnerable part

 then built more and more

Soon I noticed that the wall was finished

And I forgot the door

I forgot to build the door to this fortress

Now no one can come in

No matter how hard they try

Or how sweet they are to me

No one can ever reach my heart

Because everyone is shut out but me

But at least I won’t be hurt anymore

But I will also never be happy
