Defying walls

Walls will always find us in this life,
walls and fences and so many reasons
to give up, to give in. 
It is up to us, us and only us, 
to climb them, to cling to them
like leaves and grow anyway.

Let the light shine through,
for there will always be cracks.
Grow, grow defiant against the walls
that tower around you,
the fences that lock you in.
