Notes About The Poem

Cracks In the Wall of Your Prison

Burst through... 
  the cracks in the wall 
    of your prison and free yourself 
      completely from the virulent affliction 
        of self-doubt, of fear, of shame, of guilt, 
          of anything that blocks the pathway 
            of your dreams for that matter. Ignore 
             the voices of pessimism in your head. Purge 
                all impurities taking up residence in your mind.  
                  Be free, my friend, be that hope that escaped  
              Pandora's box. Don't let anything hold you 
           captive. You're stronger than you'll ever 
        know. I repeat, you are stronger than 
      you'll ever know! So make your move;
    burst through the cracks in the wall
  or your prison and feel the warmth
of sunshine on your face!
