The walls that surround mt heart
Have been there a long time
The coldness of the world
Have built those walls
The walls the surround my heart
were built stone by stone
were built brick by brick
Hateful words
Hateful stares
have helped build those walls
The walls that surround my heart
Unfriendliness
Is the mortar that holds the walls together
Icy looks and glares
Freezing the mortar tight
The wall that surround my heart
Close in
Trapping me in
All I want to do is to die
The walls that surround my heart
An emotional cage
A prison
Death waiting to happen

Gorgeously rendered with a superb refrain driving home the cruel reality too many know instinctively, this pretty, hard-hitting number should resonate with too many, for who hasn't tasted this? On the other hand, softening influences also play a part in many lives. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing. Hang in there.
Thank you
Tony this poem pulls at the heart. Unfriendliness is worse than death and would well be preferred. I hear sadness and loneliness in most poetic form.
Thank you
Wow! Powerful Tony. A must fave! I know the walls of which you speak. Been busting many of them down lately! 🌹👏
Thank you
You are most welcome, my friend.
A powerful write of the feeling of sadness and loneliness built by other people's behavior, nicely expressed and written
