THE WALLS AROUND ME
Everyone wants me to be happy
they say they have my best interests at heart
but do they know about the turmoils
seeing the, i guess not
i have the best of everything
ad yet i sit and cry
and people stare and question why
they think i don't understand the importance of everything that is
they wanna make my life better
by building sky high walls
but the walls don't keep the evil out
it just locks me in
and one day i go forth, through the high walls
i'll stand there unprepared
and welcome anything, unknowing and naive
i'll strangle the good and caress the bad
until i learn the difference myself
protect me i don't deny
but please don't make the walls so high
that i cant spread my wings at all
and when i try, i crash and fall
let me make my own faults
let me see my own life stop and halt
This one is best one .especially the line,"let me make my own faults.little bit of optimism in ur poem will do wonders and though it will make ur poem more inclusive and less personal.But having Said that ,Poem is for Soul .so keep the good work ahead.
