Martha's contribution:


Another brick in the wall

Build it high, build it tall 

Protect myself from the fall.


Never let them see me cry

Never look them in the eye

All they ever do is fucking lie.


Keep my armor up at all time

Their moods shift upon a dime

Breaking my heart should be a crime.


Let the mask be my shield all day

Never let it fall, come what may

Never let my heart bleed and fray.


Give them nothing when they give me trials

Give them nothing but fake smiles

Give them an inch they'll take miles.


Behind my wall I'll safely sleep

Not making a sound not making a peep

And my broken heart will be mine to keep.


- based on my true life trauma
