I've had a wall

Placed in front of me

All my life.

I must say,

Over some

I've no control

And some

I created myself.

Walls come

In many different

Structures, sizes, and colors.

Once you've been beaten down

It only takes

An imaginary wall to keep

You, where you are.

One day, if you're lucky,

You realize that you

Can't see over the wall,

And life is passing by.

The walls must come down,

Brick by brick,

Sometimes a couple at a time,

Until the wall has fallen,

And dreams can be found.
