Superhero

Life can be very frustrating at times, so many questions unanswered, emotions left unspoken, and dreams yet fulfilled.
Overtime a wall was created,….a wall that I’ve used to protect me…
Seems as tho my disappointments overshadows my victories,...But I never say anything…..I use my wall.
I have to,…in my mind “it” is the only true protection I’d known….it was myself.
I had no time to cry or share my emotions, I figured “why do that when I can use my wall”.
Yet I’m bursting with frustration, pain, hurt, and disappointments…I keep it all inside.
If I use my wall, then nothing would ever show……
No one would ever know……..
The true pain eating me inside…..
Shoot, emotions are for suckas, and I don’t wanna look weak…..
So I let my wall do the talking… I don’t speak.
I kept it all inside…..
I taught myself how to be tough….
And my wall helps me to cope and deal with stuff…
At least I thought……..
See, no one ever told me that the wall wasn’t guaranteed,..
That the wall wouldn’t forever protect me.
The wall,….I,…was beginning to fail me….
No one told me that all this stuff inside me would be better to unload…
I didn’t know that this mess would eventually make me explode!!!
*tears streaming down face*,….*exhales*…I’m ready for my wall to come down, Lord help me……
I no longer wanna be,….My own Superhero

>>>Society has taught us that to be “strong women” we must be our own hero. That we must hold things in and become "numb". That we must have a hard “interior”, and a wall to emotionally protect ourselves. But what society doesn’t tell us is that it’s a “self-destructing” concept/attitude. And as a result we become these cold-hearted, bitter & mean women , but “society” calls this a “strong woman”…Totally Backwards!!! Many have embraced this concept/attitude and its destroying them and everything else. A wall does just what its meant to do, and that’s block! It blocks your progress, growth, joy/happiness, and love!….. let go of yourself(emotional-wall), and let God b your Superhero!

Wow!! great job!! love the way you ended this poem.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
