Walls

Walls closing up
behind you
around you
seemingly no
way out
to the outside
where the colours
flow and the wind
blow and there
is nothing
to hold on
to in here
only heavy
bricks of
stone and
no hope
nor joy
enters
my mind
and I wish
they would
go away
I need
to get
out

your feelings came through not only in the words of your poem, but you were able to deliver them through the form of your poem and that is impressive

well, walls sometimes like conquering us. A descriptive well-written piece.

I know those walls.. seeming to protect, but taking you further and further away from reality and the truth and real happiness.. but they seem like such an easy way. But I want to see the colours outside..

As you build as fast, as fast as you can knock them down, then at last you are free!!!
