I was not always stone.80Please respect copyright.PENANAc49Wk6v5k2
Once, I was a line in the dust—children’s laughter skipping across me, careless and free.80Please respect copyright.PENANAZMj8HowDat
Before the boundary, before the silence, I was only a shadow at sunset,80Please respect copyright.PENANAgU83H8AEBx
A suggestion, not a sentence.80Please respect copyright.PENANAVE8OvTLaa9
They built me in the hush of dusk,80Please respect copyright.PENANAX3D7KVRQhr
Hands heavy with secrets, eyes turned away from what could not be spoken.80Please respect copyright.PENANANr5hVoFJaM
Each stone laid with a memory pressed beneath—80Please respect copyright.PENANAafOgTKKaKm
Betrayal, longing, a promise broken under jacaranda blossoms.80Please respect copyright.PENANAcG4lRrQ0es
I have watched generations pass:80Please respect copyright.PENANA0YFNPZDaHv
Girls tracing fingers along my cracks, boys daring each other to touch my cold face.80Please respect copyright.PENANAjJlvUelF94
Notes slipped through my seams—blue thread, folded corners, trembling hope.80Please respect copyright.PENANAsufMGvBUEl
I have tasted rain, dust, chalk, and the salt of tears that never reached the other side.80Please respect copyright.PENANAtBWlOKNFz6
I remember the night of fire, the hush after the sirens,80Please respect copyright.PENANASuaCxUz2oW
The way silence spread like spilled ink,80Please respect copyright.PENANAB18EP4eoFh
And the new rules that pressed tighter than mortar.80Please respect copyright.PENANA51Lp6xjNQz
I remember the old names,80Please respect copyright.PENANAtzZ6PpO72S
The ones erased from ledgers,80Please respect copyright.PENANAnOrrCGZcHP
The ones who crossed, who vanished,80Please respect copyright.PENANAm5vIczPWRB
The ones who stood at my base and whispered,80Please respect copyright.PENANAZKB2i2f9r1
“The wall is not the secret.”80Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y6B3SOnOo
I have seen the cameras come,80Please respect copyright.PENANAIIKgmMSMMJ
The patrols, the painted warnings—80Please respect copyright.PENANAZCgSxW9bOf
But I have also felt the heartbeat of those who refuse to forget,80Please respect copyright.PENANAx9KTQyenuY
Who still look for cracks,80Please respect copyright.PENANAXwj70vPolL
Who still listen for echoes.80Please respect copyright.PENANAyN7OoDm6SP
I am not just a boundary.80Please respect copyright.PENANAipDpHl9bvc
I am the keeper of what was lost,80Please respect copyright.PENANAOEh1mML7EP
The witness to what endures.80Please respect copyright.PENANAuU63mhVgbT
I remember everything—80Please respect copyright.PENANAqLmD5Y3kJi
Even the things no one dares to say aloud.80Please respect copyright.PENANAVJvk4O6Utt
And as new footsteps falter in my shadow,80Please respect copyright.PENANAKWhE1ci0eG
I wait.80Please respect copyright.PENANAWwuncc0328
Because every wall,80Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rj6b8VnIs
No matter how high,80Please respect copyright.PENANAheHW93iQSD
Remembers how to crumble.
