Wall

I like that you are honest and sincere,
You tell me everything that's in your heart
In words that are unquestionably clear,
Just like that gift you hated from the start;
I find this so admirable, it's true
I wish that I were more direct like you.
Whew!

I love that you agree with all I say,
And that you're never hurt when I object,
It makes you so endearing in a way
That I can only love more than respect;
It would be so much better if you could
Take care of just that one thing, if you would.
Good.

I do not see why not, I may as well
Indulge another wish, it is no trouble,
How much I disagree I cannot tell
As I just do not wish to burst your bubble;
Nor do I wish embarrassment for you,
So sadly, I will gladly do this too.

Oh good. That settles everything I think,
Although sometimes I entertain a thought
(That weighs upon my heart and makes it sink)
That though you seem so happy, you are not.
Oh well, I just remembered one more thing:
Be sure to say you like the gift I bring.

Break down the wall and say what's on your mind.
Or it will fall and break you as it falls.

          Stand up a screen considerate and kind,
          Or you will be surrounded, yes, by walls.
