Collapsing Walls

Collapsing Walls

A Poem by Yuriana Escalera

Collapsing Walls

A Light so radiant so bold so vast so deep

It penetrates the heart of darkness and it annihilates the curses within me

Seeping into the cracks of the walls I built

Tearing down my so called safe keeping

I run to my collapsing walls trying to collect all the pieces

And mend them together because I am too ashamed to face the Light

The second I allow the light to shine on me is the moment

I become exposed and vulnerable

Screaming and crying out for someone to rescue me

Can anyone hear me?

But I am still running back to walls I built

Trying to hide behind the walls so the Light would not notice me

Because I am too ashamed

Wandering into foreign territory seeking a new identity

This territory is the capital of agonizing darkness

Without the Light, I cannot detect where my next step will steer me

But for a second I get a glimpse of the Light

No No No

The Light looks at you in disgust and veers his face from you

You are a prisoner of yourself

You cannot escape    

I stare down at my wrist and I try to remove the chains

Of sexual immorality, of lust, and of rancor

They are intensely secured I can hardly move

Simply making it tough for daily activities to resume

My reflection stares back from the broken mirror

I collect the distorted pieces hoping I can create a new me

My puzzle has been defiled and pieces are missing

Searching violently someone to complete me

I am blinded by an unrecognizable unknown light

Squinting my eyes

 Have I died?

“No, but you were dead in your wrongdoing and sins

And I have made you alive in me

And the Light has come to dominate your life”

Dark and lonely... Writer wants light but afraid of accepting it and changes caused by it. But light comes into his lonely life illuminating and dominating it........ Got new friends
