The Wall

The Wall

A Chapter by Ahmad Cox

There is a wall inside of all of us
That keeps us safe
There is a wall that separates us all
From each other and the truth
We believe that we are all separate
That we have to hide ourselves
That there are certain things that we
Just shouldn't let other people know
That there are some thoughts
Some ideas
That we would rather keep secret
From everyone else
We can spend our whole lives lying
Putting up this wall between you
And putting it between everyone else
And never really letting anyone in
And always keeping everyone out
But sometimes you have to be willing to tear down your wall
And let people in
And stop hiding from yourself
And stop hiding from other people
And if you start to open up your heart
Even if you might feel damaged
Or even feel like people might not like what you have to say
I think you will be surprised
That if you share your heart with someone else 
And you share your heart with other people as well
You will find that you are much more connected
Then you ever thought possible
