Wall Around My Heart

Wall Around My Heart

I know what I’m wanting
but I feel like I’m paralyzed
depression always haunting
robotic expressions got me feeling mechanized

these walls are hard to break down
I just want to show what I feel
but when the thought touches my lips my mind goes into shutdown
and no one understands my ordeal

people tell me I need to show more emotion
telling me I should express what’s on my mind
but I do it through my devotion
because my words seem to be confined 

these unspoken words are not by choice 
my mind races speedily, unable to catch but a partial thought
so many times I wish I could use my voice
and yet I cant; I guess I’m just a robot

I’m here waiting for these walls to come crumbling down
please someone save me and do your part
hurry quick before I drown
break those I’ve built around my heart

Brava. I myself have had a lot of those same complaints. Great write.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
