Notes About The Poem

Other Side of the Wall

Silence?
or
is that a cry
I hear

Screams?
or 
is that
memories
hiding?

Wall
yes I listen
to a wall
days
weeks
forever

A white wall
stares back at me
curiosity mounts
I feel the wall
whiteness
blinds me

My heart stops
a rhythm
still
dances

ah
a smile crashes 
into me
two
yes two hearts
one
wall

This was mislabeled in my search engine as "psychological poetry" which is is not, of course. Not even close.

This is a really deep and wonderful poem, yur first two stanzas describe the emotions really beautifully, silence person holds thousand silent tears behind his smile and no one likes to scream, it is when your emotions overwhelmed you and you can't take it anymore, anyway many congratulations to you on your poem being chosen as POTD, I really enjoyed reading it, good luck my friend and have a really nice day
