Cement Walls Poem by Vera Sidhwa

Cement Walls

Cement walls were real
And they kept closing in on me.
Their texture all
Were in diversity.

Each one had a different call.
Each one a different reason.
They were around me fast
And so I couldn't last.

I had to get through
And run through it's crevices
But they were tougher
Than I.

I couldn't get out
As I was truly trapped
But I realized then I could get out
Because they were only in my mind.
