Just out of reach –
poetry
I feel a wall getting higher and higher
And i am climbing and climbing
And there are weights pulling me down down
They’re are pulling and pulling
I am trying and trying
But i am to scared to fall without a sound
Not a change in the wind as i fall
This is the feeling of an epic demise
Without that last call
Is it too late to cancel my subscription
To my life that now has no definition
The paper reads: another failure at attention
Head high, chin up, with no emotion
Cut from the world hated with devotion
Seeking truth with no acception
Is the same as fleeing because of ur passion
Doesn’t make sense
You can’t stand there and believe
That you are equal, when clearly ur the tease
You fight for others rights
Oh please?!
You hide behind what you are told to ease
Never to pick a topic in sex, religion, or politics
God Forbid a women is seen as more than sex religion or politics
We are shamed for our bodies
We are shamed for our justification
We are shamed for our future
When i speak of the wall i climb
I speak not of the wall we are building to keep others out
I speak of the one that we as a nation must climb
Climb over the hate, the judgment, and anger
We have become the refugees of our nation
But We are not alone.
