Walls

Posted on September 7, 2013March 7, 2023
The walls around me are taller than sky scrapers
The walls are up, up, up
From down here on the ground they look incredibly horrible
From down here on the ground they look incredibly horrible
From down here on the ground they look incredibly horrible
There is no way over
There is no way around
There is no way even if I could fly
They would shoot me down
Ground level has come to me
Lower level to me

I want to be up there with the birds, clouds, angels, fairies and stars
Flying would be great
But my wings only come in my dreams
Big golden wings like a dragon with scales
Golden wings to fly over the walls and be free to be me
Be me, be me

See me down here no wings, no facilitator
Just a nothing with no voice, no education
No useful purpose
Hear me scream! Hear me shriek! Words flow!
Hear me groan! Hear my words!
Give me wings to let my words fly over the wall

Maybe the walls will come down.
