Walls

I’m walking

With the hope that what I am walking to is better than where I am now

Some days I feel hopeful to what I am walking to

But other days

most days,

I feel like I am in a dead end

And I am walking into a wall, and this whole time I’ve been walking

I’ve just been lying to myself that there is somewhere to walk to

I look around and everyone else is still walking

But I’m stood still

With no hope for what lies ahead, because I don’t see anything ahead for me

All I see is a wall

And this tall wall is made of bricks of loneliness and disappointment

I know I am not the only one with this wall

 but this wall makes me feel like I am the only one in the entire world that feels like this

Sometimes I think about how there are worse off people with taller walls than what I have

I try to remember I should feel grateful, I have an education and a family

But the wall overshadows my attempt to be positive

Its intimidating height blinds me

I hope one day I won’t see a wall anymore

And I can continue walking

In peace.
