Half Way
on a blank canvas
i begin painting
as one builts
a great big wall
So high,
trapped in myself
Shut away from life's hurt
Dreaming of greener pastures
One with happiness
Safe in my Dreams,
An apparition
of what life
could offer
Feeling unworthy
of a place
Left with cruel words
Making one feel
bad about myself,
in the reflection
upon the ripples
a shattered illusion
on the surface breaks
Touched by
my inner most desire,
Like a child's
first steps
Happy when finding
one's feet,
Slowly learning
to trust your feelings
Smiling when they come
back again
climbing this wall nervously
Walking to the summit,
Dreaming of love
A vision
of happiness,
Escaping my prison
Staring off
into the stars
At ease
with the distance,
So close,
yet so far
