Walls

Break these walls that we hide in. Let's be kids

Walls

Through these empty hallways we seek

The attention that we so desperately crave

The rooms have their moods

That changes our attitudes

It's a prison;

It's a paradise

Everywhere we turn, there's nothing to do but pretend

There's no where to go

And so I stay

Let's stop pretending

Who are we trying to impress?

Let's be kids while it lasts

What are we hiding for?

These walls should go down

Let’s break through them in a blink of an eye

Let’s shatter these boundaries into smithereens

Throw them out and start anew

But no matter what we do

Everyone is just too afraid

To stand there

Naked

The everyday routine goes unnoticed

I’m dazed throughout the day,

As if I'm watching it through an obscured window

And there is nothing to do but ponder

My mind is a cell where the greatest torture brings me apart

One little gesture could crush me to the bone

One little word could tear me to shreds

Sensitivity rises as if at every corner

A lion makes me its prey

 

We act like shallow ponds,

But we're miles deeper than a bottomless abyss

We say a single line,

When we have a novel to fill

We hide behind our exquisite masks,

When inside, a butterfly sleeps in its cocoon

We stay quiet and hidden,

When we're screaming at the top of our lungs

We pretend to be clones,

But each one has a unique code

Let's stop pretending

Who are we trying to impress?

Let's be kids while it lasts

What are we hiding for?

These walls should go down

Let’s break through them in a blink of an eye,

But everyone is just too afraid

To stand there

Naked

I'm not a big fan of poetry, I think it's boring. However, this poem is one I actually liked. I understand it and I think it's beautiful. I have one question though, isn't it supposed to be nowhere not no where. I always thought it was one word. If it is two words I guess you learn something new everyday, right? Anyways, love this poem. If I didn't have to go to school right now I would love to read more of your poetry. Perhaps another day. :)

Thanks so much! And no, nowhere is one word. Guess I skipped that one out of editing XD thanks again!
