The Wall

I'm woven in a fantasy
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost.

It rises now before me
A dark and silent barrier between
All I am, and all that I would ever want to be
It's just a travesty
Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase.

To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride.

The moment is a masterpiece
The weight of indecision's in the air
Standing there
The symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty
Towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see.

Gold and diamonds cast a spell
It's not for me, I know it well
The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more than I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find.

And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be
In harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss.
