My Wall

I've finally built my fortress up
With strong and sturdy walls
Carefully placing every brick
To make sure they don't fall

It's not the wall you're thinking of
That people normally build
It's one that's taken almost 18 years
And it happiness is filled

You see, it's no to keep me locked away
From everyone I know
It's my beliefs and all my goals
Like where in life I want to go

At the bottom are the founders
Who have given me a hand
And have helped me in my time of need
When it was impossible to stand

The middle part is what I know
And everything I think
I trust myself and have no doubts
So it's hard to make me sink

Believe it or not the top was the hardest
In turning my life around
I had to put my fate in someone else's hands
And lift my eyes up from the ground

So while I've still got holes to fill
My fortress will stand strong
I just have to keep my head up high
And I know I wont go wrong.
