These Judging Walls

These judging walls. Ever always must I ignore their calls. Their hushed whispers and silent screams, Unendingly poisoning my tormented dreams. Tossing, turning, then bolting upright... But merely waking ends not the maddening plight. Unceasingly the murmurs burn my ears; Ruthlessly parading my failures and fears. Ever always ringing down these halls The accusations of these judging walls. The endless watch of these judging walls Keeps me guarded more than any and all. Ever perceiving, always seeing My shortcomings, faults, my flaws as a being. On and on it perpetually wears Until my steely constitution tears. And then as my heart and my mind bleed The whispers drone on, so conscious thought they might impede. Condemnation rains as I curl up in a ball Feeling so vulnerable before these judging walls. Oh these merciless judging walls Coaxing me ever closer to my pall. Only to add insult to injury, do they speak. In perpetuum reminders my future is bleak. Loosing their tongues they generously give lashes Each stroke, each word, digging deeper the gashes. Once strong mind now frightfully frail Once glowing countenance now painfully pale. I doubt I can, but I'll attempt to stand tall Under the relentless barrage of these judging walls.
