A wall

A poem I wrote for myself to help get me out of writer's block and it helped me open up

I've been building a wall

So tall, the wall

I've been building a wall

against you all

I've been building a wall

Let's watch it fall

I love the simplicity here, and yet it's quite effective. I think the metaphor of the wall is great, and I like how it falls at the end. The rhyme was great, it was like a rhyme you'd say to a child, except the meaning in this is more complicated than for a child.

Thank you!

Love how you made your point in such a simple poem. Good job!!

Ah, very short, yet powerful. Is it about trying to keep someone out of your life, and then eventually just letting them back in again? If that's the case, I can totally relate.

[James]

Yes, in a way. I had writer's block and my thoughts lead me to believe that I was blocking myself for a reason. That I was building a wall against letting out my innermost self out to others, but by building a wall against them I was also building that wall against myself. So I elected to tear it down.

[Admiral Kirk]

Ah, yes. I don't let my innermost self out around others either. I save it for poetry. I know what you mean, blocking yourself. Great write!

Thanks :)

You're quite welcome. :)
