Stone By Stone

I have a wall you cannot see

Because it's deep inside of me

IT blockes my heart on every side

And helps emotions there to hide

You can't reach in

I can't reach out

You wonder what it's all about

The wall I built that you can't see

Results from insecurity

Each time my tender heart was hurt

The scars within grew worse and worse

So stone by stone

I built a wall

Thats now so thick it will not fall

Please understand that it's not you

continue trying to break through

I want so much to show myself

And love from you will really help

So bit by bit,

Chip at my wall,

Till stone by stone starts to fall.

I know the process will be slow

It's never easy to let go

Of hurts and failures long ingrained

Upon one's heart from years of pain

I'm so afraid

To let you in,

I know I might get hurt again.

I try so hard to break the wall

But seem to get nowhere at all

For stone upon each stone I've stacked

And left between them not a crack

the only way to make it fall

Is Imperfections in the wall

I did the best I could to build

A perfect wall, but there are still

A few small flaws, which are the key

to Braeking through the wall to me

Please use each flow

To cause a crack

To knock a stone off the stack.
