You built this wall willingly
You lined its concrete menacingly
Quickly its height grew around you
Thickest around the people who crossed you.
Two strikes and out, was the one rule.
No step-backs and compromises from you.
Every day it grew,
Every moment a brick laid in.
The bigger you grew, the longer it stretched,
Now no one cares
In this big black world,
And you're all alone to face it.
