The walls


I sit and stare at this cinder wall 

I wonder why I'm here at all

I count the days as I lie in wait 

Sitting here I know my fate

Is this life that stares at me 

Or something worse with an evil gleam

I don't complain, for they do not know

But I do hope one day it won't be so

As a young guy sometimes i feel like there is a lot of pressure on me. Writing poems helps me ease a lot of my stress. i love to make fictional characters and tell their lives through these poems.
