White Walls Poem by Apollo Chatman

White Walls

Rating: 4.8


Clear, the screams sent my body into shocks
My hot blood flowed, the adrenaline made tides of it
Boiling sweat rolled down my cheeks into a box,
My body formed - curled, so that my eyes were hid

Voices pounded my earlobes in flairs of a samurai's stroke
'Help me! ', 'We're dying! ' 'Don't just stand there! '
It was only a matter of time before my mind had broke
After guilt tripping, how could I possibly stand fear?

Clear, the jolts shot searing silver bullets into my nerves
Pieces of the walls chipped & crumbled down to the floor
Reality bended; shadows became 3-dimensional, with curves
I grasped my blanket but I am still cold, I need more

The walls seep cold drafts with shards of ice jagged rough
My blanket shrinks in size, I can never grab enough
My body extended forth, I sat up - never thinking the same
My eyes widened,
It seems I was the only one here truly insane

And these walls will never go away.

Terrible nightmare well depicted in the poem. A well articulated piece of poetry insightfully penned with good rhyme scheme. A nice one indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
