I was not always stone.21Please respect copyright.PENANA5wtYTZ5n5B
Once, I was a line in the dust—children’s laughter skipping across me, careless and free.21Please respect copyright.PENANAPJS2ilJZEy
Before the boundary, before the silence, I was only a shadow at sunset,21Please respect copyright.PENANAb7u0LjG8Fm
A suggestion, not a sentence.21Please respect copyright.PENANArwUd7jWYz7
They built me in the hush of dusk,21Please respect copyright.PENANAPycWUCXVec
Hands heavy with secrets, eyes turned away from what could not be spoken.21Please respect copyright.PENANAfMTjhLHZDV
Each stone laid with a memory pressed beneath—21Please respect copyright.PENANAuzStmVvKuE
Betrayal, longing, a promise broken under jacaranda blossoms.21Please respect copyright.PENANA5bweSHepUt
I have watched generations pass:21Please respect copyright.PENANAr6yuaTVJIV
Girls tracing fingers along my cracks, boys daring each other to touch my cold face.21Please respect copyright.PENANAy89BOYQ7rE
Notes slipped through my seams—blue thread, folded corners, trembling hope.21Please respect copyright.PENANADScKqwkFVC
I have tasted rain, dust, chalk, and the salt of tears that never reached the other side.21Please respect copyright.PENANAo6PP8vkXaK
I remember the night of fire, the hush after the sirens,21Please respect copyright.PENANAntJRcgP2Mr
The way silence spread like spilled ink,21Please respect copyright.PENANA2CWNFbOJFS
And the new rules that pressed tighter than mortar.21Please respect copyright.PENANA0hv0raKulo
I remember the old names,21Please respect copyright.PENANAEmjjzsMQFi
The ones erased from ledgers,21Please respect copyright.PENANAqZLYOmBiw6
The ones who crossed, who vanished,21Please respect copyright.PENANAkAPaznWtzg
The ones who stood at my base and whispered,21Please respect copyright.PENANA9RF8GXiQoG
“The wall is not the secret.”21Please respect copyright.PENANASETrwj7KLE
I have seen the cameras come,21Please respect copyright.PENANAPMiKHEulPu
The patrols, the painted warnings—21Please respect copyright.PENANAeXjEkKtZTh
But I have also felt the heartbeat of those who refuse to forget,21Please respect copyright.PENANAUPTURRDqTo
Who still look for cracks,21Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Oz0XEds3
Who still listen for echoes.21Please respect copyright.PENANA225dnjeN8y
I am not just a boundary.21Please respect copyright.PENANAlvbhUUGQpt
I am the keeper of what was lost,21Please respect copyright.PENANATEfeoHUaV7
The witness to what endures.21Please respect copyright.PENANAp37og1OPRk
I remember everything—21Please respect copyright.PENANAvkEknA94SL
Even the things no one dares to say aloud.21Please respect copyright.PENANAgs0wn60W9s
And as new footsteps falter in my shadow,21Please respect copyright.PENANAmtYqESXo8L
I wait.21Please respect copyright.PENANAj5pqZcX4GE
Because every wall,21Please respect copyright.PENANAkFxCyGlTKZ
No matter how high,21Please respect copyright.PENANAC7PVVKx8vb
Remembers how to crumble.
