Instead I Built A Wall


Instread of building a bridge, 

I built a wall to Cry behind.

Instead of building a bridge,

I built a wall to Administrate the pain.

Instead of building a bridge,

I built a wall Making my life completely dark.

Instead of building a bridge,

I built a wall Enabling my anger to take over.

Instead of building a bridge,

I built a wall, Replicating the pain each day.

Instead of building a bridge,

I built a wall Openning myself to self harm.

Instead of building a bride,

I built a wall, Nesting until someone comes along to break it down.
