Where is the Internet?
It is not a physical thing
Is there a building that says “Internet?”
How can it have walls?

The fence I set up around my heart
Did not prepare me for
The blow you thrust on its stone
Leaving it broken forever more.

My ode to Pansy Wallpaper
It’s the first thing I see when I wake up
It’s a sight gruesome enough to make me throw up
I think you get it,
Pansies plus walls; not a good combo
It makes my stomach do the mambo.
amen

“down the road the sun is shining
in every cloud there is a silver lining
just keep on holdin on
every heart ache makes you stronger
it wont be too much longer
til you find love, peace
and the you you’re meant to be
i know right now that’s not the way you feel
but someday you will.”

You had walls up around you
When we first met
I saw it crumble away piece by piece
Even though you still tried to push me away
I opened up to you and let you in
Hoping one day you would do the same
You have built your wall once again
And wont let me in
I hope one day you’ll see what I see
And open up to me once again.

I trespass a will
at odds to my own.
It owes me nothing,
this great wall of stone,
yet I ask of it
goodwill to atone
for old crimes committed,
for punishment postponed,
to indulge me the favor
of this pleasure alone,
this selfish desire,
this conceited unknown.

every answer
either breaks walls down
builds them up
or does both
the question
is who you shut out
and who you let in

Wall comes down,
The seige begins.
Wall goes back up.
Then Down
Up
Down
The warriors are tired.
