The Wall

She looked through the small hole in the brick wall probably for the last time. This hole had been her only gateway to the world beyond for years. She grew up behind this wall learning all that she knew which was good enough for her to survive in her world. It was safe but not without some conflict. She was happy most of the time but the unhappy ones were agonizing. She often questioned the world that existed outside the wall that is all she did, question. She had decided.

She placed the brick back inside the hole. The wall was complete. She stepped back and admired it, her friend who had taught her much and whom she would miss. She was not sure if she would ever come back. Deep down she felt she would return home sometime, after all, she was not destroying it. She was relived.

She knew she would still be herself and something more. To begin with she was willing to cry.
