When you built those walls
Around yourself,
Did you know what they were for?

This one, you built of brick
To keep that one person out
Where he couldn't hurt you.

This one started out as scaffolding,
Now you struggle
To escape its embrace.

This one is more of a wrap,
You pull it around yourself
For warmth.

You built them for your protection
Over the years, they kept you safe.
Now, it's time
For you, to break free.
