Walls

poem by: Taylor Hazel
Written on Jan 09, 2019 

The walls crash around me.
They fold and collapse.
I try to scream.

But no one is around to hear.
I know there is nothing here.
How can I pretend to be happy.

All I want to do is break.
Why am I like this?
I pretend to smile.
I pretend to be happy.

No one knows how bad I want to die.
To push it away.
To see the sunshine again.
But all I see is darkness.
