Break Down the Walls

I stand before dark, gray walls,

Unable to move forward,

Hindered to take a step.

But not wanting to stay still,

Nor wanting to go back.

For behind these walls lies “life,”

Behind these walls lies “tomorrow”

A future so sweet.

So near yet so far.

Nevertheless, it’s mine for the taking.

So I will tear down these walls

With bare hands willed by hope.

How long will it take?

The answer, I don’t have.

But someday, I just know,

I’ll surely pass through these walls.
