Beyond Walls

The Inner Canvas

In silence, I sit and stare at a wall,

Lost in thoughts, my mind begins to recall.

I ponder on the walls inside my head,

The barriers that hold me back, it is said.

These walls, they stand so strong and high,

Hiding stories of joy and tears that I cry.

Each layer tells tales of struggles faced,

Moments of triumph and fears embraced.

I notice the cracks, the marks of time,

Lessons learned, scars of life's climb.

The walls reflect the echoes of my past,

Reminding me of shadows that can't last.

But beyond those walls, I long to see,

The real me, the person I can truly be.

In the depths of my thoughts, I embark,

To unveil the secrets and find my spark.

Are these walls holding me too tight,

Or protecting me with all their might?

Do they trap me or set my spirit free,

These walls within, that no one can see?

With introspection, I start to explore,

Breaking barriers I ignored before.

In stillness, I discover the strength I own,

To shatter illusions and let my true self be known.

As I gaze at the wall in front of me,

I realize it's a mirror, reflecting what I see.

It shows my essence, my innermost soul,

A reminder that walls can be torn, a worthy goal.

So, I embrace this journey, the path ahead,

To dismantle the walls, no longer be misled.

For within me lies endless possibility,

When I break down the walls and set myself free.

In the realm of thoughts, where echoes reside,

I choose to tear down the walls I've tried to hide.

For in doing so, I unleash creativity's flow,

Embracing the potential that's ready to grow.

So, let me sit and stare, with purpose anew,

Knowing these walls can't define what I can do.

I'll break them down, find strength deep within,

For the walls in my head can't hold me in.
