Poetry: Walls within

by Asif Joosub

Created on: September 18, 2008   Last Updated: September 27, 2008

I am closed to the public
Renovations inside
Blocked congested sick
Quarantined walls within divide

I cannot confess
Walls inside blocks of thick cement
Inside I hold my own congress
Trying trying hard to repent

Walls within hate sunlight
My emotions vampires to daylight
My feelings cannot penetrate outside
Inside I cry outside to much pride

My emotions partition
Multiply guard when I try escape
A hostage on my heart masking tape
To kidnap myself was my intention

Walls within fitted with bars
Landmines that will blow you to the stars
No one is getting in or out
I will not come out never conform
I don't want to know what you talking about
You have no idea within these walls the storm
