Stone Walls

-Stone Walls

I stand and stare at the stone walls, I stand there, still
Hope for inspiration within the cold features fuels my quest
My vision becomes three dimensional and blurred
Chilled reflections radiate from the structure
I am staring, like a burning desire, staring
Just staring as if I should see some unique vision 
No, nothing calls to me 
Nothing
Life within four walls can make you imagine this, that,
Things, feelings are real and true
I am sentenced to my own existence
Life with no hope for happiness or self approval
The walls, these walls that trap me
My own walls that I built but cannot take down
Stone walls


Emmett Patrick Finnegan

Reason for writing:

    I was thinking about my life one night and reflecting on where I am
and where I want to be.  Also, I wondered, how I arrived at this place and
why I was unhappy. I felt trapped by things in my life and how I built and created
my own fears and insecurities.
