Tharisa Coetzee Poet Romanticism

Asylum Walls

All these noises
All these voices
How close are we all
To asylum walls

I curse and I cry
I crave and I call
Out to the shallow
To the demons and dreams in my shadow

Make it go away
Make it stay
This is living hell
This is me in a cell

Empty words
Hollow promises
Sickening
Shallow souls
Searching for the same thing

Where does it end
When we're already bent
Broken and numb
You took my sun

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
