The Wall

The Wall


People sometimes hold on to their past

The foster care, the foster homes

For years they are not able to forget

The feeling of being abandoned and alone


Therefore they build themselves a huge wall

To keep all the sentiments away

It is not easy to destroy

Behind the wall is their safest place


But if there is the urge to overcome

And the spirit will be holding on

The eyes fixed on the future

Determination should make them strong


But there is always a part that’s left behind

Of that deep down hidden child

For ever secured in that adult’s mind

It will haunt them for the rest of their life
