the wall

i let the sky cry for me
because on my own,
the tears will never fall.
i work so hard at what is not mine-
so hard my hands bleed,
my back aches,
my fingernails are worn
down to nothing
just so they can take it away.

the rain falls gently now.
they can never steal
what is not theirs.
my happiness
my success
my heart and its contents
i'm holding on,
i'm holding on,
and will never let go.

let them destroy the wall
but they cannot touch me
because the sky is crying my tears
and flooding their earth.
