I don't want to be here no mo'

Once upon a time...


There was once a girl who lived only within her walls

Legend has it that she used to come out to play

But that was a long time ago

She didn't know when or how it happened

Or if she built it

All she knew was

She grew and it was there

And she loved her walls

For they loved her flaws

She would decorate them even

Lay brick after brick for every new season

And her walls became her treasure

She guarded it with all her heart

Leaned on it

For it was all she had

The more she leaned the taller it grew

Till she realized that the wall she loved was nothing more than a wall itself.

Then she clawed and she screamed

Hoping anyone could hear her

That someone would save her

But everyone had already turned into ghosts waiting for her

Days went by

Years went by

And behind those walls the girl is still trapped The sound of laughter carefully tucked

And there she stays

Starving and alone

Unrecognizable to her own

Waiting for the walls to turn Babylon

So they come crushing and falling on her...

What a lucky day that will be!
