Behind the walls shut eyes stare. <br />Closed to imagination... <br />And opened to self depreciation! <br />Stopped and blocked, <br />By frustrations accepted! <br />Fearing disapproval, <br />But receiving rejection inspected. <br />And protecting it as if it belongs! <br />Behind the walls shut eyes stare. <br />Uncaring the glare reflected is wrong! <br />There to drain remaining all day long.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
