cracked and vandalized
chipped paint and water stains
passersby are disgusted
quick to judge and hate
this wall is broken from within
you can see it
trapped inside
bare and open
for the world to see
that is what it longs to be
a blank canvas
a new slate
a chance to reincarnate
beautifully
hidden beneath
a thick layer of paint
this wall screams
to be seen again
to breathe again
to be given a chance
to start again
