Your Walls Poem by Lynn Grassette

If there weren’t walls and chained link fence
There would be acres of fields and open space instead.

Enough room to run
Enough space to feel
Enough freedom to find an understanding

But these barriers stand strong
Defenses against the unknown
Cutting off the hope
Of ever letting anything grow

All I can do, is stare out,
Onto everything I wish I could be apart of.
And tear up,
For, I can’t scale your walls.
I can’t climb that high.

You won’t let me in.
