I'm afraid to break the wall br And live inside of me br I had forced myself outside br I don't know what I would see br br I locked it all away br As the reality set in br Not sure if I could manage br If I did step in my skin br br I release the tension when it's taunt br To keep it from a break br For the quantity I've suffered br I doubt one's mind could take br br I seek out others hurting br Bleeding empathy for them br It is how I ease the pressure br Of all these feelings from within br br The tension changes everyday br I watch it wax and wane br One day I hope this wall will fail br And with it take the pain br br But for now I mend the cracks that show br And tend it as I can br This wall that keeps me safe outside...
