Painted Walls

Painted Walls Pale yellowish paint peeling, torn and scratched from the hospital walls Indication of time passing by Time telling a thousand stories If these walls could talk what would they share The shadows on the walls are where most secrets are stored Protecting themselves from the light Reflecting the darkness of the mind Stories of pain, anguish, uncertainty, fear and the unknown Tales of companionship, unity and a common bond Entrapped within your mind and the walls of the yellow paint Staring into what lay ahead and what had passed Examining the cracks of the paint and the reflection of your life Hoping that these walls will be painted fresh with a new start Life will once again be renewed
