My Wall

purple hair, my green car
and the cutest boy i know
autumn colors, an autograph
from an Evanescence show
many old friends and many new
who've left me all alone
mom and dad and little brother
who'll be there when all have gone
places of peace, dress up time
the woman who taught me to sing
my cross, my crown, my beads, my charms
this wall holds everything
all that i can't hold inside
it hurts too much to bear
i've lost it all through foolish pride
or let it go in despair
but every day i heal more
i let a memory in
my heart can hold it like before
i'm not weak like i have been
another memento from the wall
joins the rest where it should be
to be held and cherished deep inside
remembered eternally
