Bring us together
Tomfoolery and all
Leave behind walls
They crowd us too much
Bring us together
Late into night
Stories and stories
Giggle out of us tonight
Leave them behind
No walls today
Boxing us in too tight to breathe
Bring us together
To learn from each other
Dishes and breakfasts that
Melt our palates
Bring us together
No walls, No filters
Just girls: a story
Unique and perfect
Leave it behind
Leave it alone
To live no more:
A tall thick wall.
