The Wall of Why


Do you ever wonder what went wrong, somewhere?
Mostly feeling like you don’t belong, here or there?
I had dreams, I imagined what would be – plans unrealized.
Now I move between shock and anger just
Banging my head against the wall of why.

I’m not saying I have never loved, someone.
I know grass is really just as green over here.
I just thought I’d have managed by now to be saying “ours” not “mine.”
I move between shock and anger just
Banging my head against the wall of why.

Painted prisons and Technicolor walls, images of what “should” be
Holding tightly, I can’t begin the fall into living faithfully

Help me to be able to let go, somehow.
Show me how to love this life that’s mine, as it is.
Open hearted, seeing with new eyes
Break me open to the light.
Keep me still between shock and anger
Not banging my head against the wall of why
Keep me still between shock and anger
Not banging my head
Not banging my head
Not banging my head against the wall of why
