Walls

Ok so i decided to start a new blog for new poetry meaning poetry written in 2010. The first installment is coming from a post i saw on Facebook and its accompanying comments. It's titled Walls and I think you will understand why. Enjoy and God Bless!



WALLS

I dont remember when I laid the first brick...

I just wanted it to stick

To other bricks

And to stack quick!

I wanted the wall's protection

From future disappointment and frustration.

Drama has so twisted my perception

That I feel like God's exception.

Skepticism coming from every direction.

Trust is nowhere to be found in this erection.

Every opportunity is met by inner confrontation.

I keep my heart locked in an emotional police station.

As if it did something wrong.

Heart controls choices.

Choices do not control heart.

You say I'm wrong

Because I choose to feel the way I feel.

But a fool and his dreams will soon part.


One + one + one + one does not equal four.

There is much irregular structure

To be found in relationship torture.

A stack of toy building blocks

Ready to tumble at any time.

It feels like I'm standing on rocks

But I'm surrounded by sharks

At the same time.


Hope keeps me standing

When I feel like falling.

I built the walls so easily

Once the labor took over me.

The burden rolls off my back

And lands on my chest comfortably.


Like acid reflux

IT SUCKS!!

I don't believe in the word trust.

I'd rather be hit by a bus!

Dont try to force your way in

'Cause OUT you will be 'cussed'.


I can't help it.

I've gotten so used to it.

You can't break through

And I can't let you.

So what do we do??

Stack our raggedy walls together

Just so they crumble like New Orleans

In stormy weather?

Or do we stay separate

And pretend to not be desperate?

Desperate for an end to the construction

Of our malfunction.

Fear is such a beautiful obstruction...

On your path to becoming a prospect.

But you cant BE a PROSpect

Because YOU

Are a SUSpect!


I don't have to know you.

My walls know you.

Before you say "goodbye"

I got my bricks stacked ten feet high.

But if I let you...

Come through...

And we choose to...

Put on our wall climbing shoes...

Then you must be the one

Because only the Queen of Evasia

Has the soul that fits those shoes.


Every wall is a journey.

A journey passed jail, homelessness, loneliness...

Passed closed doors, confusion, and expensive attorneys.

But I heart-built these walls brick by brick by brick by brick.

My fortress of solitude.

My Department of Defense.

My Walls.
