WALLS OF TEARS

No love or guidance given you
During your young years;
Went to school, worked and, all alone,
Came home to "WALLS OF TEARS!"

Your basic needs and nurturing
Were never given you.
It's a miracle that you survived...
After all that you've been through!

You didn't get involved in
Drugs, gangs or violence.
When you saw some good out there,
You chose the path to take...In silence.

No one knew the strength you had
Or virtue you possessed,
Until someone cried "WALLS OF TEARS"
And their rescue you addressed.

Robbed of your own childhood,
Hold onto your dreams for years,
Your identity and self-esteem...
Your escape from "WALLS OF TEARS!"
