Walls
Behind walls
Dark and terrible things happen
Secrets
Whispers
Threats
Crimes
Injuries
Tears
Wars
Bargains
Betrayals
Walls
Behind walls
Bright and glorious things happen
Friendships
Smiles
Discoveries
Embraces
Triumphs
Pacts
Laughter
Victories
Love
Walls
Behind walls
We grow up
And when the time comes
We leave
Move on
Escape
Venture forth
Break free
Break away
We find places with new walls
Walls of our own choosing
Where the ghosts of those first walls
Come with us
If we so allow
The memories ebb and flow
Fade and grow
Like fish tales
Sometimes they nourish us
Sometimes they break us
Oh to have the wisdom
To sort the wheat from the chaff
To magnify the good
Forgive and forget the bad
Cling to the best of the best
And let the bright and glorious moments
Be those that shape our heart of hearts
Walls
Behind walls
We live
