Wall of Numbers

I can see myself at 15
Chasing the ball chasing the girl
Looking out at the hills and the endless sea
Everything in the world so infinite to me

But between myself and this vision
Is a wall higher than I can see
And thick enough to encase 200 of me
How do I scale this wall
How do I tear down this wall

I can see myself at 5
Off to school and the wonder of being alive
Opening books delving into life´s mysteries
Everything so endless to me

But between myself and this vision
Is a wall higher than I can see
And thick enough to encase 200 of me
How do I scale this wall
How do I tear down this wall

I can taste the wine touch the grass feel her lips drink the water
If only for this wall
And soon I will be 75
Staring hard at reflections of me
Regretting my failings savoring a few moments
And realizing the wall was not a wall at all
But something I created to keep me from me
