These walls
My only source of companionship
They keep me close
Tightening
Closing in
Muted from the world
Kept beyond reach
Escape smothered by
their strength
Muffled cries
Heard by no one
Seen by no one
Enter no one
Given up on freedom
Almost happy with the
suffication
Knowing the pain would be
far worse beyond
these walls


 The words that come to me here fail me elsewhere.
Mute.
Made dumb by my own thoughts.
Tonguetied and awkward.
Tripping over my own voice.
A pen and paper for my voice.

Also within your walls is a dimension, that time, space and love, know no bounds.
And yes the pain is far worse, but so is the life far better. think about it...
Love your work kid.

I live behind my own "self built" walls.  Truly I can relate to the companionship walls offer.  Everytime I've dared to look beyond them a far greater pain has taken me.  Great depiction.

The walls are closing in on me
and time is running out
pain mounting all around me
walls heaving from the burden
faces within
taunting me, teasing
trying to get in

I had nothing to say today, yet your words trigger my brain.  Thank you soul sista.
