Denial

Denying what has happened to me
creating my own walls
Inside I am safe
am I just hiding
Each crack in the wall
becomes another scar
Inflicted by my own hand
without knowing
Why me
why anyone
If only I could climb
out of my mental prison
Be free from my sins
even though they were forced by another
Welded eternally to my soul
is the contempt of my youth

    Amazed!

    Someone left a link to your poem on my artsite and I'm VERY honored that you felt inspired by my art. I'm blushing, your poem hit the exact feelings I've been trying to portray with that image. Thank you so much! And please don't stop writing.

    Sins we feel that have been forced by another, are the hardest to bear. Great write!

    This piece is really good. Very deep. And good written too. I especially like: "creating my own walls / Inside I am safe ". I know that reaction. It's too easy to shut everything out, because it hurts too much.
    So well done.

      Thank you so very much. Sadly I am rebuilding walls again after taking years to tear them down.

      Thank you so much. Walls are tough to breakdown, especially without hurting ourselves while doing it.
