Weird "These Walls..." 5 – 12 - 03
These walls have held
For all time
A beast of great burden
Of the body and mind
They have so longed
To give in
To at last be free
Free the daemon...
A very enjoyable piece. A whole slew of metaphors leap to mind in considering this demon, and how it is different for each person. Very nice.
I feel that person imprisoned in the walls. It's like the more I show my true self the more people want me confined to be who they want and to change me. The walls move in as I struggle for the freedom of being myself and not letting these people crush me. Thanks for sharing such an insightful poem.
