Walls

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

These walls tell of my life
And yet what do they say?
Do they tell the darkness of the night
How much I stay awake just to pray?
Pray... to get through another night
To get through another year/day/hour
Do they tell the enriched morning
Of my struggled infancy
Of which now I am finally growing apart
Growing up am I?
How is it, I've made it this far?
Do my pillows bleed my salty tears?
Drowning every person that comes in
With the depression, the anguish, the self pity
Of a girl just now seen in the world
Do my walls speak of hatred?
Anger at the world and all it's players
For not understanding any of my foul attempts to get the play right...
So tell me
Do my painted walls tell my story
Of my every day and every closing night?

Reason for writing:

    I don't know where this came from
