My Wall




Tall
Broad, and wide
It stands erect for the attacks

Letting it’s shape be known
It surrounds me and I feel safe
Secure
Nothing can get past my bricks

Day by Day
By Day by
Day

It absorbs the surroundings,
The allies, the enemies.
Defending.
Helping.

It’s bricks begin wear down-
But I assume that it will stand strong
I ignore the chips and let my feelings of security carry on



But eventually all things turn to rubble


In the dark of night, when
No one is looking,
I count the chips, each scratch in it‘s place.
It’s then that I realize my bricks have fallen.
And it’s then that I realize
all that’s left
Are my pebbles of guilt.
