The Wall

Dishonored by the loneliness
I’m willing to sacrifice myself
To lay down upon this land the souls of the forgotten
To give them life
To let them breathe again
To resurrect the strength within
To start over anew

CHORUS
Now there’s but one thing left to do
I must walk through that wall
That impenetrable wall
The sentry to my soul
And beg forgiveness
For forgetting those I loved


(groans) It hurts so much but I must push through and redefine myself
Change my state of mind
Break it down
Tear it through
The pain unbearable
But it must be done
I must kill that guardian to my heart
And let the river run free
From my distorted reality
Approaching the barrier, my skin melts away
Mind for once not astray
I’m standing so close
So close to you
I can feel your breath upon my face

CHORUS
Now there’s but one thing left to do
I must walk through that wall
That impenetrable wall
The sentry to my soul
And beg forgiveness
For forgetting those I loved


One hand in my mind goes blank
Two hands in my eyes grow blind from the light
One more push and the wall it finally fell
And released me from my personal hell
All of them they returned to me
Forgave me for what I have done
All at once they surround me
And embrace me in sweet comfort
But I am blind to see
The new wall set before me
One I’ve broken down before
But this time it won’t be so easy.

Author notes

I seem to feel like im forgetting those that love me and replacing what they need with what i want. Rules suck.

    An extremely touching, soul stirring write, pushing through that wall is the hardest thing to do, I know, because I've been there to a degree.

    Thanks for sharing this, and entering my contest,

    Luck.
