These walls

April 17th, 2009 · No Comments

These walls we build
the armour around
our hardened hearts.
What is their purpose,
if all withers within?
Like a snake, I shed
these skins,
layer by layer.
This dry, brittle shell

I welcome you in,
waiting for the re-growth.

over the cavernous
womb of creation.
Don’t throw me that
lifeline;
I want to know
if I
sink or swim.

We had friends from our situation
In this funny place called “society”
We travelled
And felt the semblance of the primeval sensation [...]
