Closed Walls Poem by martel alexis

those closed walls so tightly pressed to my face
so thin i could hear through to the next room
but not thin enough for me to break free

no windows
nor door
i wonder how i got here
alone and frightend
at one point i once enjoyed

but now as i look at this room no bigger than me why would i
these closed walls must be speaking to me or im delousional
but they told me
once free you must change

change how you think
change how you look at things
change how you love
change how you act

for a momment i listened
but i knew i couldn't
i can change my outer apperance
but never how i think

thesefucking walls must think im stupid
i can think as i please
.
never come near these closed walls.
