Walls
I often question my purpose
Like a flower that's taller than the rest a different color
I often look for answers
Thoughts of uncertainty my burden
I often long for more
Never ending circles around I go
Like living a game without a score
Sometimes the door is opened only to reveal another door
Life keeps going and moving around me
I'm caught up in the moments of yesterday and the fears of tomorrow
I long for what others have my deepest sorrow
But would it even be enough if I had it
Would I be satisfied
My denial of the the average life speaks volumes
Maybe the white picket fence isn't for me
Maybe I prefer wide open spaces with breezes of infinity
I rise above the desires that bound others
Freedom from normality and that which smothers
I've grown accustomed to these walls
My protection against pain and my many flaws
But could it be that which protects me is actually causing my hurt and neglect
Oh walls how I want you gone
The courage to break them down is that which I long
