Walls

I have built so many walls around me

So much that now it blocked my sunlight

Each one built with every heart break

And the walls move toward me squeezing me tight

 

The walls are built real thick

That my inner screams stay unheard

While every time I try to muster strength

The walls laugh at me, challenging me to climb over

 

So I decided that it's high time

That I break down these walls

Which held me far and away from my dreams,

Away from the person I am dying to become

 

Here I am with a new resolve that 

No insult or hurt can bring me down

I have had well enough of it 

That now I am numb

 

When the walls collapsed, the sunlight comes

So intense that I narrow my eyes

I finally see the walls only withheld me 

Not from the world but from myself

 

I am everything I ever wanted to be

Everything I ever dreamt I would be

Just being true to my inner self gave me the world

And then there's nothing stopping me from anything.

It aint easy to break down

It aint easy to break down walls 

but it does give you access to freedom

Tear down the wall!!

I'm glad you enjoyed the poem! I know it's difficult to break the walls, but sometimes it seems as if it's the only option left.
