~DAMN THESE WALLS~

Damn these walls that surround me
that protects me from the pain
my heart built them many years ago
and now I am the only one to blame

Damn the doors that refuse to open
for me, there is no light
dreams and hopes that I once lived for
have now faded out of sight

Damn this regret that haunts me
reminding me of what could have been
days pass by mournfully
for, love before me is no longer seen

Damn the darkness that closes in on me
it's coldness only brings my fears to life
my spirit no longer dances, the death of my soul is imminent
battles wage within, filled with endless strife

Memories of a past better to be forgotten still linger
for, I've been the victim for so long
damn these walls, I am my own worst enemy, my own captor,
violins play in sorrowful melody in my ears, this is my jaded lullaby, this is my bitter song

damn these walls!

you said it! After
being hurt, it's hard
not to build walls,
often though, they must
be destroyed for us
to really live.....

good job!

I understand...you built them now get busy tearing them down...you are making it much to hard for those who care to approach you...James

Don't keep those walls up Melissa. . . they only serve to keep you from what life has in store. . . take out a few bricks. . . let some light through. . .

Excellent poem my friend. . .

Hmmm...sometimes we convince ourselve taht walls are the best thing to have...it makes us a "mystery" or "unreachable." But, when those walls are true and steadfast as yours are, its sad.
  Your poetry is so sad and yet it reaches out to someone...makes them want to help and be your shoulder or your one-man demolition team. Very nice writing here, Melissa.

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

Dear Melissa

The time has come to destroy those walls; give someone close to you half a chance and they can just melt them away.  The pain is so evident here.  *hugs*  Allow someone to gently rid you of these walls, for though they seem to be protecting you, they are in fact making it hurt more.  

All the best and a wonderful poem btw.

God bless

Your poem makes me realize I am not alone within when it comes to self-built walls!!  The pain and the memories can be so haunting!!  I agree with what Sylvia said...it's true but difficult to do!!

Take Care,
