Walls Within Walls

Walls Within Walls

 

　

For most of us

the construction began in early childhood,

an intuitive defense mechanism,

to cope with being deemed too short or too tall,

too bright or too dim, too cute or too plain, too

large or too small.

 

Tools of the trade,

employed by parents, siblings and playmates,

were both inherited and fabricated,

as needs arose, and mandated to install

protective foundations, yet unnamed, as our

walls within walls.

 

With only a

few strong souls brave enough to venture beyond

the barriers, the construction continued

for the rest of us as defined social cures

required to justify perceived shortcomings

in our structures.

 

Must we follow

those who conceived the earliest prototypes,

commissioned the plans, dictated the dogmas

that stifled the light? Or can’t we embrace flaws

in the perfectly imperfect so we might

tear down the walls?

Yes. I think we can.
Some, anyway.
