Climbing

Climbing

A Poem by XxWhatsername86

Everything causes another
An equal but opposite reaction
With trust comes lies
With tears come smiles
Why am I waiting for science to change?

My wall is growing higher
My strength is crumbling quicker
Will I drown in the quicksand
Or will these monsters
Take me under?

Am I crazy? Am I hallucinating?

Is there anybody out there
Who can conquer these walls?
Is there anybody out there
To cure the way I feel so small?
Is there anybody out there
Strong enough to climb my wall?

I'm getting older
The air is colder
The bricks and mortar are building up
So bring your hammers and dynamite
To try and make me feel all right

My wall is growing higher
My strength is crumbling quicker
Will I drown in the quicksand
Or will these monsters take me under?

Are you on the other side coming to rescue me?

Is there anybody out there
Who can conquer these walls?
Is there anybody out there
To cure the way I feel so small?
Is there anybody out there
Strong enough to climb my wall?

When everything's a crisis
But everyone leans against you
It's hard to kill these barriers.

You have written something that should be nine feet high and four foot wide, labelled on every door someone walks through.

Education will break down those barriers, growth will arm you with wisdom to use such knowledge well, and freedom is a state of mind. You shall overcome. enjoyed your poem

Nicely done.

Good and simple raw emotion. The fury and anger, the depression, in one minimal precise package. Bravo.
