Four Washed White Walls
Four White Walls, one man standing with nothing to hold onto but bare hands
So dry the cold concrete can’t compare, carelessly cracking away like the desert
Click Click is the unanimous sound coming from the first wall in relation to the others but nothing is certain
His ego once stood tall about the height of the third wall until his world came crashing, stuck without escape
Every glimpse reflects the transparent white only his reflection can give hints but each stride forward he limps
Four White Walls and the loud Click Click only his mind cannot decipher between when he lives or ceases to exist
Bringing lonely feelings of his past, present where the needle in the haystack remained lost without a trace
Being so boastful granted the gift called forgetful of being helpful, these white walls crushed his aspirations of being hopeful
Click Click the sound grew into surround sound definition the walls shook and rumbled like thunder, the man scampered to a crawl humbling among them all
Trapped inside the White Walls out of choice from just existing in life, day-in-day-out though strife blocked the listening ear
To the truthful voice inside suffering more in which nothing was adored with all his might
Four White Walls washed without paint the sound became dimmer, the Click Click was his wakeup to start living
Hands bled vivid colors unseen in dreams before then realizing the value of life given
