WALL WITHIN WALLS

Pounding, scratching, trying to break my way through.

Like being put in a glass case on display.

Locked into the wall within walls.



Most people like to hear that they are eye candy, beauty and not the beast.

But what happens when you are put in the tower, told not to ever leave, that you can’t leave, if you do then everything is your fault, and you’re the horrible person for escaping.



I sat there in my wall within walls, coping, praying, hoping saying, I’m not happy.  I’ve done my best. Will you release me?

Only to hear...”you’re just like me. You’re just like them, they all left too.

So I stayed in my silence, in my wall within walls.

Taking the emotional, financial, mental, and verbal assault on me and my soul to the point where I was living in my wall within walls, but not alive. My soul was dead and dying from ways and actions no one should have to endure.



Finally alone and tired I took a deep breath and broke down the wall within walls.

Running with intense emotion, hoping as soon as I got outside of the exterior walls it would stop.

Only to be hit by another wall that popped up out of nowhere. A wall of untruth sent by the disgruntled castle keeper. Several walls I climbed and surpassed. Day by day I break them down as new ones pop up only to find the castle keeper won’t let me escape from my wall within walls at all, yet we all know I will be completely free someday.
