the wall

the wall stayed
after many years a tiredness grows 
still unmovable
all sought shelter
and no storm could pass
 
over time
there are cracks
​from the weight of their pain

there are moments i sought refugee in her arms
yet always holding
​ 
until i am called home 
and ask you
did i do this right 
for everyone who called

i fell many times but kept rising 
i held back each season's tide
this wall stayed
