From the lonely shadows I seem to cast,
I can hear It's name like a chain to the past.
It calls to me only when my weeping

THE BRICK WITHIN

I feel within my heart a brick

Holding me down to the ground.

And my foot, within a chain

There to pin down

Wall Around My Heart

The wall around my heart
Was built brick by brick
As you consistently,
Day by day, month by month,
And year

I turn away the light of truth,
though bright it shines eternally;
as I now search the dark of youth
for life devoid of

I am closed to the public
Renovations inside
Blocked congested sick
Quarantined walls within divide

I cannot confess
Walls inside
