Wall

You are a brick wall.
I throw arrows out of desperation,
In love and hate.
But they bounce off and
Stab me instead.

Holes

Empty holes

All here inside

Tears are bound

To burst me wide.

Why can’t I find

My way with friends

And trust their love

Won’t quickly end?

So much fear

And shame in me

I feel like all

Around can see.

I hide in shadow

From all who care

I don’t know how

To meet them there.

Empty holes

All here inside

The pain and fear

Will burst me wide.

Beneath the stars

Star light,

Star bright, 

how I wish

For peace tonight.

My heart is broken

Things seem dark

But in the sky

I see God’s Mark.

I wish I may

I wish I might

Find the strength

To stay tonight.
