06/01/19 - The Wall that Stands.

It’s tall.
It’s shadow looming.
Before me it stands.
Above me it towers.
This wall of inventions.

A wall,
Built with questions and worries.
Stuffed with books and daydreams.
A wall,
Trapping me.
Separating me from those I could meet,
From the things I could do,
And the sights I could see.

How does one crumble a wall?
A wall full of stories,
Yet lifeless at its core.
A wall of entertainment,
But still leaving me unsettled. 

Walls crumble from the inside.
And so,
With my hammer and chisel,
Bit by bit,
It falls.
