These walls of mine
stand as tall as towers,
threatening to steal the sun,
but still I look up,
defying these brick stones
keeping me standing in one place.
These walls of mine
cage me in,
keeping the world
just out of my reach,
but my hands have begun
to break the stones.
These walls mock me
for they still tower above,
they still keep me here,
and here I stand
with dreams in me
begging to break
these walls of mine.
These walls will fail
the test of time
because my wings have grown,
and my dreams
are about to touch the sky.
And when I look back,
there will no longer remain
these walls
of mine.
