Cheery i know. But it's just a poem. :-)


Storming walls

Don't tell me what to do
or suggest a better way
just look into my heart
and try to understand.

That I have fought so very hard
to breath the flimsy air
so this is why i'm who i am
and this is why i'm scared.

And now i struggle to calm the thoughts
that rampage through my mind
i see my footprints in the sand
but still no closer to why.

The shadows keep on marching
throughout the tormented day
storming walls of prejudice
storming walls of endless grey
and on and on they march
into the fret less fray
ghostly whispers and echoes
with nothing left to say.

So this is how i spend my day
counting steps towards a grave
round and round the same old way
a beggar begging to cease the day.

So don't tell me what to do
or suggest a better way
just look into my heart
and try to understand.

That this is how i spend my day

counting steps towards a grave

round and round the same old way

storming walls of endless grey.

"Don't try to cheer me up": sometimes misery loves misery! A perversely fun poem.

Yes day by day, little by little, we have to make our way rik. I hate being told what to do and wrote a poem but was far less polite in my wording!lol Great work, we must keep chacing that grey away, if we want to that is. No pressure from Tai smiling at you.
