Sides

I'd tear this side down
To pacify you
But with just one wall
The whole house falls through

So I'll paint the windows
Make them reflective
and you'll only peer in
To your own perspective

And although it seems useless to say
I still want to be who you think I am

I'll hold these instincts
Inside the thick walls
Our minds are locked doors
At the end of long halls

So can you see it
The expectations
Cause disappointment
And this realization

That although it seems useless to say
I still want to be who you think I am
And if I try hard enough would you believe
That I could be who you wanted all along

If I stop fighting will the struggle cease?

Let us keep both sides:
The sense and meaning
The love and logic
Art and reason
