From Behind These Walls

by Anisa Abeytia Yamani - Aquarius

I’ve gone far in my mind.
Traveled to that unreachable
fourth dimension.
Transfixed for a time 
by the novelty of being.

From behind these walls,
that now stand shattered,
I have lived so many lives.
Seen so many faces
and heard so many voices
calling me.  Yet,
always unsure of my final destination.

I have been lonely too long,
like some Southern twang playing in my head.
I have been waiting from behind these walls
to come springing out
to tell it all.

What to reveal and what to say?
Could I let my heart gush out all over you?
Would it seem too much
like a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings?
Would you laugh at me
or stop and cry?
