These walls are my sanctuary
guarding me, looking after me
stopping me, restraining me
my prison but my safety
where I hide
where I rule
a brick cloak of invisibility
You can't come in unless I let you in
I'm the master here
the prisoner here
the one who is suffering here
the one who is surviving here
A barrier, a security
my light house, my castle keep
an obstacle, a safety net
These are my walls
where I live
where I stay
Within these walls I'm stopping here
Wow! ! The walls within which we live protect us from so many unwanted onslaughts as well as apply some limitations. The metaphor is quite eloquent. Thanks a lot.
It is very precious piece of work...meanwhile the " master and prisoner" are very fine words and well used here..making paradox and giving multiple meanings to this excellent poem..thank you for sharing..it deserves 10 with regards
o alone loneliness in four walls closed roof silent dark i'm into me deserted breathing nothing, nothing around dark or active brain........../// greatly enjoyed
Man builds the walls if he finds him unsecured, man breaks the walls when he finds he is no more vulnerable. A great psychological poem.
Safety within your walls a nice place to be in your life when all outside is frightening Enjoyed your poem Clive Alan.

Guarding, looking after, restraining me my safety where I hide where I rule the one who is suffering here the one who is surviving here Walls as a symbol for mental difficulties, pain and suffering from loneliness. The thought that i am unloved and i have no one…….. writing becomes a way out to present our thoughts to the fellow poets…… thank you for this symbolic poem. tony
