The Walls
The Walls
Our bodies, our minds, our actions
Our desires and needs hit walls every day.
We may choose to accept the wall,
Let it slow us down, then go on with our day.
Some walls are of our own making (inner),
Some walls are imposed by others (outer).
Sometimes we fight against unjust walls,
Sometimes we let them bring us down.
Sometimes there are many mental walls
We need to navigate around.
The walls are there to restrict us
To protect us
To keep us from expanding, exploring
To keep us enslaved
To separate us from others.
May the walls in your life not stop you from being you.
