Wall


a wall is built in twenty seconds

and it is taken apart in only five

why are you so mean?

when all I want to do it hug you?

I don’t want to be hurt

I don’t want to cry

when pain is laughter

it just makes life easier

but what else can I do?

I’ve tried everything

so please tell me what to do

or just leave me alone
