GREY WALL OF PAIN
by: Deena ResnickoffThe ever-present grey wall of pain
Frightening memories still remain
Occupying too much space within
Worthless reality that must not win
A burden I will accept no longer
As I continue to grow stronger
Despite the wall's persistent quest
To make me feel like second best
A tool to scale this obstruction
Rebirth after all the destruction
Inside of me, it's buried deep
After my heart went to sleep
Self-esteem is the key
So my inner child is free
A brick a day, then one more
The wall crumbles to the floor
All grey rubble disappears
With my pain, sadness and fears
