Tower
I am trapped in a tower
I put up these bricks to protect me
Every hate filled word- lay one down
Every bruise- lay one down
This towers so high I can’t escape
This tower is filled with hate
The tower surrounds me
I let no one in
They might hurt me, just like you did
I sit and stare at the walls made of hate
They stair me back right in the face
Slowly, slowly the memories fade
Bricks crumble one by one
The tower is down but I no longer trust
I let no one in, and I never come out
Those hate filled bricks lay on the ground
I see everything you have done to me
I am building a new tower, with a door and a window
But your bricks will always lay at my feet
