    Walls

    As I look at these walls
    I feel helpless, useless, and lonely.
    I need to be free
    To spread my wings and fly away.

    Must I go on like this?
    Or shall I break lose from these walls
    That feel like they're about to cave in on me,
    My soul?

    I'm scared, lonely
    In these shadows that lay upon me
    I feel helpless, useless

    As I stare at the walls
    Now with frustration.
    My mind i racing
    As I sit here in the corner
    The dark, lonely

    As I stare at these walls
    With frustration in my eyes
    Must I stay or move on?
    My mind expands to extraordinary lengths
    As I think of these outdoors
    -the freedom

    I don't belong here, my heart is somewhere else
    I think...
    I don't know
    I'm scared, lonely, helpless, useless

    My heart speeds up, I ball my fist
    It stops
    I get up
    Wow! That makes me feel so powerful.
    I walk to the middle of the room.
    -Powerful...

    I open my mouth and...and
    Nothing comes out
    Why?

    I calm down, close my eyes
    And listen to my heat
    Open my eyes
    Try it again
    I scream so loud my eyes drum hurt
    I feel so free
    But not yet...don't stop...don't stop

    I keep on, walls begin to crack
    They crumble to the floor
    Break like Humpty Dumpty

    I feel air on my face
    It's a sign
    I open my wings and
    Fly away
    Because I know I'm free

    At last

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
