Walls



How painful it can be at times

Not letting your feelings show,

Though you've tried so hard throughout your life

To stop your emotion's flow.



You've trapped your heart inside thick walls,

A boundary made of steel,

Determined to hide the desperate cries

Of loneliness that you feel.



You sense as though you're all alone

Among this world of man

And even your kin—those of your kind

Would not truly understand



There's something else behind your rage,

A secret within your soul,

An unfulfilled need to feel in place

That's making you lose control



How can you live behind these walls,

Tumbling into despair—

When will you break free from this barred cage,

And let your tears brush the air?
