Gate

To be hated from all sides
but loved by the man beside you.
To represent a wall
     A face in the concrete
     An arm reaching out to stop
A fate in the barrier
     The expect me to be human
     I am a wall

They can't escape through me
I reserve that for myself.

Excuse me sir
     Sir
The wire is there for a reason.
      To keep you filth out

Were defending out identity
And splitting it al one

Quick, no one's looking.
Slip a key into my lock.

It softly clicks
     A thunderclap in the mountains.

Leave the door ajar.
And flee
