Walls Talk

These are the times when the walls talk The bricks sneer and the tile floor scoffs at you Disapproving, mocking, judging It’s a quiet conversation You can’t quite grasp the words Muttered to your ears only Yes, the others are excluded From this one-sided discussion So they don’t understand When you can’t hear them And when you stare blankly at the wall Because they aren’t aware That those walls are tormenting you
