The walls whisper.Words of


The walls whisper. Words of the wise, words of the careless. Words of fear, words of failure words of warning, words of contempt. The walls whisper. They whisper to trust in my faith. They whisper to be brave. Words of the wise. They whisper words from school, of degradation and of expectation. Words of carelessness pouring out of every crack. They whisper words of fear, or words of the need to succeed. Words of warning from my mother. Words of warning from within. They murmur contempt. Contempt for the words themselves. But I will beat these words.
