INSIDE IVE BUILT A WALL SO HIGH AROUND MY HEART
I THOUGHT IT COULD NEVER FALL
AND HERE YOU ARE NOW TEARING IT APART
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?
I TOLD YOU WITHOUT THIS WALL I CAN NOT SEE
ANYTHING BUT THE TRUTH BE TOLD
I THINK I COULD LOVE YOU I'M TRYING TO BE BOLD
EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH ME IT CRACKS A PIECE BREAKS
I HOPE THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO MY HEART FOR GOD SAKES
EVERY LITTLE BRICK YOU PULL AWAY
IT'S JUST A BRICK I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE ANOTHER DAY
I HOPE I HAVE THE STRENGTH AFTER YOUR THROUGH
TO PUT THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER JUST LIKE NEW
IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR YOU TO GET THROUGH THE WALL
BUT IF YOU MAKE MY WALL FALL I WILL PROBABLY FALL TOO
AND THEN I WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
THE WALL IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME NOW
AS I SIT DOWN AND START TO LEARN MY LIFE OUT
I REALIZE WITH THIS WALL I'VE HIDDEN MYSELF FROM THE TRUTH
THAT ALL I'VE DONE IS KEPT MY HEART FROM THE SUN
KEEPING IT SAD AND GLOOMY THROUGHOUT ALL THATS BEEN DONE
THE HIDDEN FACTS I NEED TO FACE
ARE ALL HERE NOW WITH EVERY LITTLE TRACE
OF PAIN AND FATE THAT WILL TURN MY LIFE AROUND
KNOWING THAT THIS, MY WALL HAS KEPT YOU OUT
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU NOW, BUT IT SEEMS IT WONT HAPPEN THAT WAY
MY WALL COULDN'T FALL AND NOW I SIT AND I POUT
BECAUSE I WOULDN'T LET YOU GET THROUGH THE WALL SO NOW I'M SAD AFTER ALL!

This is beautiful. I think that anyone who has taken a serious look at themselves (emotionally) can relate to this poem.
