The time has come

You have decided to put all of your fears behind you, and want to come Out of the corner.

You've been huddled there for days, weeks, you've lost track of the time, but that doesn't matter anymore, because its time to change.

Fear has followed you, and behind that, hatred.

What is the crime, well that is not important

You look down, and the hammer is in your hands

You destroy the wall behind you

Grass starts to grow on the floor, and spreads under your feet

Your getting closer, and closer

You deal the final blow

The last part of the wall has come down

You look down, and in your hand

Is a flower
