STONE BY STONE

i HAVE A WALL YOU CANNOT SEE

BECAUSE iTS iS DEEP iNSiDE OF ME

iT BLOCKS MY HEART ON EVERY SiDE

AND HELPS MY EMOTiONS TO HiDE

YOU CANT REACH iN

i CANT REACH OUT

YOU WONDER WHAT iTS ALL ABOUT



THE WALL i BUiLT THAT YOU CANT 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 THiNK iT WiLL NOT FALL



PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT iTS 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 iT STARTS TO FALL



i KNOW THE PROCESS WiLL BE SLOW

iTS NEVER EASY TO LET GO

OF HURTS AND FAiLURES LONG iNGRAiNED

UPON ONES HEART FROM YEARS OF PAiN

iM SO AFRAiD TO LET YOU iN

i KNOW i MiGHT GET HURT AGAiN



i TRY SO HARD TO BREAK THE WALL

BUT i SEEM TO GET NOWHERE AT ALL

FOR STONE UPON EACH STONE iVE STACKED

AND LEFT BETWEEN THEM NOT A SiNGLE 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 BREAKiNG THROUGH THE WALL TO ME

PLEASE USE EACH FLAW

TO CAUSE EACH CRACK

TO KNOCK A STONE OFF OF THE STACK



FOR JUST AS STONE BY STONE WAS LAiD

WiTH EVERY HURT AND EVERY PAiN

SO STONE BY STONE THE WALL WiLL BREAK

AS LOVE REPLACES EVERY ACHE

PLEASE BE THE ONE

WHO CARES ENOUGH

TO FiND THE FLAWS NO MATTER WHAT

Author's Notes/Comments: 

DONT BUiLD A WALL TO KEEP EVERYONE OUT. BUiLD A WALL TO SEE WHO CARES ENOUGH TO GET OVER. i THiNK WHEN i STARTED DATiNG MY BOYFRiEND i HAD THE STRONGEST MOST TOUGH WALL iN THE WORLD! BUT THE MORE i GOT TO KNOW HiM AND THE MORE HE GOT TO KNOW ME i GOT COMFORTABLE. AND ALL OF THE FLAWS i THOUGHT THAT i HAD WERE THiNGS HE TURNED OUT LOViNG ABOUT ME. i LOVE MY BOYFRiEND ORLANDO WiTH ALL i GOT AND i JUST WANNA SHOUT iT SO THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS iT!!!!
