Great Wall of Fear

Great Wall of Fear
Posted By: Vykesha S. on December 07, 2006






The thought of being called yours has

got me ona natural high

nothing i could smoke or drink could

make me feel as good as you do

but

on my journey up the pathway to

cloud nine

I run into my Great Wall of Fear

this solid wall of fear is preventing

me from reaching my destination to you

You are there patiently waiting

to mend my brokenness

bit I take a step back and ponder my

willingness to climb up or walk around this wall

Am i willing to climb tis wall and after

crossing to the other side

letting you rebuild a wall of trust and

sincerity or will I continue to let the

bricks of past and comparison continue to

increase the height of this wall?

My heart has been running along this wall

for so long that it is tired

But

in the midst of its exhaustion

your are there like a refreshing bottle of

Gatorade

to replenish all that was lost

just enough to let me know that you

are there wainting on the other side

of this wall with open arms

you are there asking "Is It In You?"

Truthfully I don't know

My heart has made so many attempts

to climb over this wall

but it has been pulled right back

down by

disappointment

I want to give it another try but

I need to know that it will be you there at the top of this

wall waiting to pull me over

and rebuild a new and better

wall that only you and I can make possible
