The Walls Are Steeper Still

The Walls Are Steeper Still

A Poem by TripleJinx

 

I do not think they know I am upset.

I’ve hid behind these walls because I’m scared.

If I tell them I’m scared they’ll blame themselves,

Which is the furthest thing from what I want.

 

The walls I’ve built keep coming in closer,

But that’s better than facing what’s outside.

I see black and white where I saw colors.

It feels dark because I’m getting lonely.

 

I know it is not they who hurt my heart.

I think I may have done it to myself.

But no, I didn’t do it on purpose.

I want them to help me, but I’m afraid.

 

I hurt, so the walls must be steeper still.

I’ll keep trying to repel these feelings,

So I don’t again hurt like I do now.

I hope you don’t make the mistakes I did.

 

I am hurting, so I build these big walls,

But I truly hope someone will break them.

        WELCOME TJ ~ In literature and in life all WALLS are restrictive ~ Like the Berlin Wall and the Mexican Wall ~ Trump wants to build ! Fouir Walls to hear me ~ Four Walls to see ~ Four Walls to near me ~ Closing in on me ! To some extent we can all empathise because we have all been hemmed in at soemtime and some still are. I trust and pray ~ your Walls will soon be broken down to set you FREE ! Thanks for sharing ~ Please check my poems ~ Thanks BRIAN
