Walls Falling Down

Another poem from Selphie's POV this time
a little darker (as if Flightless was't
odd enough) Taking place in the future and
again describing her feelings about Irvine.


----------------------------------------------

I never learned to fly with you
Now all these years later
I am still a scared child
And your love has failed to change me

Perhaps I am supposed to be unhappy
I spent my childhood being happy
So others wouldn't worry.
And they didn't

The walls I put up around myself
The walls we all put up to protect ourselves

Squall shut himself out
From the rest of the world
Hid away in his thoughts never letting us in
He suffered inside for the walls on the outside.

Quistis hid her emotions in other fake ones.
She did things to make us proud of her
To aknowlage her being our big sister
To protect us from shadows we could defeat ourselves
She protected us from behind her wall.

Zell didn't change much to us
At least we thought that
But he never found happiness
He never loved like the rest of us did
No one even realized he put a wall up.

Seifer's wall came crashing down
We tore it down together
But I can't help but wonder
If he's happier now
Because he can see life for what it is.

Your wall is keeping me out
Keeping me from loving you
You act so cool then you want to be alone
You keep blocking me out of your life
You won't let me though the wall.

I won't continue
I just won't
I am no longer a child
But my past still haunts me
I want to leave it behind
Because you refuse to move forward
You've clipped my wings
But my wall has not come down

Tear down your wall
