    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

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
