Inside These Walls Poem by Sam Dale

These are the barriers that hold my heart
They are always there, holding secrets of my past
They’ve seen every scar and every tear
They know every dream and every fear

Inside these walls is where I belong
Inside these walls is where I am strong
There is nothing out of them, no friend
I live my happy life I denial, I pretend

These walls bound a cold, dark room
It’s my life, my fate, and my doom
It’s icy, hidden night and lonely days
There is nothing else to life this is the only way

Inside these walls is where I belong
Inside these walls is where I am strong
There is nothing out of them, no friend
I live my happy life In denial, I pretend

Imagine if the walls could talk
Can you think all the ways people thought
But maybe someone would try to release me
I could fly on the wind and be free

But Inside these walls is where I belong
Inside these walls is where I am strong
There is nothing out of them, no friend
So I live my happy life I denial, I pretend

Maybe someday when this felling stops
I can freeze time and rewind the clocks
But foe now, the feeling takes over
I’m holding on
