Stone By Stone
I have a wall you can not see because its deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side and helps emotions there to hide.
You can't reach in, I can't reach out, you wonder what its all about.
The wall I built that you can not 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, that's now so thick 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 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 breaking through the wall to me.
Please use each flaw to cause a crack to knock a stone 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.
