Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Back Against the Wall

a figment of my imagination
trapped in a cage of my own making

forging a path
through the cobwebs of my mind

drowning in the clutter of neglect
impaled by the bitterness of the unknown

I will not give in
I will not budge

the cost may be high
but I will not - cannot

and yet, things are not as bad as they might seem
I will somehow get through this
