~Walls of Flesh~

Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture,
But the secrets buried from within the walls of our Flesh,
and hidden deep inside,
Intellectually we stand tall, body held strong
by the back bone of our pride,
While we battle the constant thoughts
of the conscious mind,
Unable to see the whole picture
because we are blind.

What if we crossed the wrong bridge, or
took the wrong street,
Should we prepare ourselves for
lies and deceit?
Instead of what makes our
heart beat?
Trying to look prettier everyday,
but still perfect in God's eyes,
Inside we still burn with secrets
and lies,
Still trying to control in their heart
what lives or dies,
How do we deal with those whose mind
has taken over their lives?
Behind the Walls of Flesh is
where they hide,

We don't have time to let
anyone else in,
So our lives are basically pretend,
We hold up a shield that's
made of tin,
Some people can't handle the struggle, so their
thoughts drive them insane,
But still strong holding onto the pride, while
showing no pain.

Then what happens to the one's who are weak, and can't
stand alone without pride?
Will they just disintegrate
and die?
Will the secrets and pain eat
them alive?
Our soul is eating its flesh from within,
trying to survive,
Wanting to escape from behind the
Walls of where they hide.

The pain from our past,
Has forced us to wear a mask,
Deliberating the differences of the
pro's and con's,
The scale tips, unbalanced decisions of
right or wrong,
Those who are lost, searching for their place in this
world and where they belong.

Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture....
But the secrets that burn from behind the
Walls of our Flesh, and hidden deep inside,
Body held up by the backbone of our pride.

So why can't we break down the
Walls of our Flesh, and let everyone in?
No matter their differences, no matter their sin?
Because as humans we are afraid of possible hurt,
And that is no reason to treat them like dirt.

Take a chance to just break free,
Convince our soul that's it's okay to finally breathe,
Reach inside yourself and decide....
'Inside these Walls of Flesh
I NO LONGER HIDE.`
