Holding onto a past controlling now and here letting go of all the demons conquering inlaid fears My fear seems so tangible thick walls surround my heart you came to my protected world to tear the walls apart They will not fall, they cannot fall please leave my room alone I fought so hard to build my space and call these walls my home Then in the dwellings of my heart you came to fill a space you touched a wall with loving hands the wall was then replaced I cry with joy and then with pain for fear shatters the light I still have three walls standing tall can I withstand the fight Still you stand inside my room a smile upon your face you gently kiss another wall the wall fell down with grace The pounding of my heart of which two walls still dwell is fighting with the memories of life, of love, then hell Two walls remain inside my room and still you stand inside you grabbed my hand then held me close the two walls left divide My room feels oh so barren yet it doesn't seem as cold you have touched the inside of my heart still fear presents the old The ghosts do beckon to me I fight them with your strength I can't rebuild those four cold walls and suffer life at length Please be patient with my ghosts and one by one they'll fall then we can feel alive as one to never scale those walls.

Very nicely done, lil Tamera. I wonder if this is what happens with us all when we've been burned and then are offered another chance. |

Tamera, I've not read many of your pieces, but see a lot of potential. Good job! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Very well done...love the hope at the end. And the imagery of ghosts - good job! '...I want to be free - free to know people and their backgrounds - free to move to different parts of the world...' Sylvia Plath |
