Gone


A wall as tall as the sky

A wall whose roots are unknown

You can’t see through

You can’t see over

 

Many have tried to scale it

Many have tried to break it

It stands strong

Even if the creator wishes it gone

 

However, one person knows its weakness

They chip away the layers

Until they can see inside

Not knowing what they may find

 

Scared to be vulnerable

Still, they know the weakness

The wall is collapsing

A sensitive heart is found inside
