brick

a brick wall built of my sorry sides

i was a petty friend

and a crappy daughter

two bricks for row three

i’m sorry i was irresponsible

that’s worth 4 bricks because at my age, i should’ve learned.

i hurt the ones that i loved

and i loved the ones that hurt me

both worth 3 bricks because of the weight each one actually holds

two rows down

it’s starting to look like the brick wall i needed

not sure if it’s meant to block out the bad

or just block out everything

but it’s starting to grow;

the brick wall built of my sorry sides.
