Straight and Tall

I built a life with hardened brick
My hopes and dreams made them stick
This barricade should give relief 
From wolves that blow and every thief
My soul and I play behind 
We paint graffiti on our side 
These works of art are memories 
Emotions only I can see 
Many know the outside wall 
Where I'm straight and tall 


Occasionally a close friend comes  
Steps behind and brings the sun 
My heart alas thinks we are free 
To display new art for all to see
But then a brick comes flying through 
For safety's sake our brushes move 
What found its way from hand to stone 
Must now endure alone 
But all can see the outside wall
Where I'm straight and tall
