The Wall Around Me

5.6.08

My mind has managed

To build a wall around itself.

Closing me off

From my problems

From my feelings

From my emotions.

--

They’ve known about it all along…

And I’ve just come to realize.

I’m so blind.

So… shortsighted.

--

I want to know what I’m feeling

Why.

Why I’m crying.

All I’m getting is the emotions.

Nothing behind it.

Why.

Why am I crying?

Why am I sad?

Why have I built this wall around myself

That I can’t seem to bring down?
