    LITTLE BLUE WALLS

    grinding teeth in frustration
    don't you get it?

    unable to see past the
    little blue walls
    you've built around yourself
    in a silent rage
    that you have labeled "responsibility"

    and now you think
    there's nowhere else to go
    because you've
    completely boxed yourself in.

    now you think
    (since you've boxed yourself in)
    that those fucking little blue walls
    are the entirety of your world...

    and
    dammit
    you left us outside

    so you sit
    screaming in frustration
    and slapping cuffs
    on your own wrists.

    "I can't move!"
        you cry
    "there's nowhere to go!"
        you moan
    "I have no life!"
        you whine

            YOU. FUCKING. IDIOT!

    the key is in your own damn pocket
    and all it takes
    to shove down those walls
    is a little push.

    just a little. fucking. push.

    but no...
    you'd rather cry
    you'd rather whine
    you'd rather moan in self pity

    sorry!

    I      can't.

    I can't
        push your fucking walls down

    you'd scream at me
        in a self-pitying terror,
    about how much they should be there:
    your fucking little blue walls

    and how you are doomed
    to live within them
    and let them rule you

    I won't go there

    I can't
        make you better
    I can't
        improve your life
    I can't
        ease your stress

    YOU WON'T LET ME!

    and your
    fucking little blue walls
    keep me out
    just as much as they
    box you in.

    for now
    you only let me see

    the box in the corner
    made up of
    fucking little blue walls

    I love you,
    dammit!

    but I can't convince you
    you're any better off
    than you
    think
    you
    are.

    you refuse
    to get outside the box!

    all you can see
    is blue.

    Be well.

  • As I read this I first felt enclosed, claustrophobic, but before I finished reading it I was thinking "Hey, this isn't SO bad. It's comfy in here!" I did not like either feeling.

  • Wow...These are some BRILLIANT words. Damn they awesome.

  • Your words really made their point.  Gave me a lot to think about.

    Have a great wekend!

  • cool use ofwords withought being tottaly overdramatic.

  • Powerful words! Hmmmn!  I guess that I can't say,.."You "blue" it!"

  • Nice to see the not-so-sweet side of your love

  • Riiiiight,  I learned in AA that one must have to will to knock down those blue walls and join the human race again.

  • I warmly invite to respond to the ‘Dyin to be Alive’ survey. With lots of interest in your reply, Mike.

  • wow... awesome job... I'm kind of afraid of you right now for some reason lol

  • I really like the way you wrote this...someone commented that the words were brilliant and they were correct. Everything about this piece fits so well...the words...the style...the fonts...the color...the emotion. Very nicely done...take care.

  • This poem seemed familiar to me somehow. So after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that it is very similar in style to ruffletheleaves. I especially liked the line: "You fucking idiot" haha! ...not the run-o-the-mill 'pretty-words' kinda poetry is it Good job!

  • i see the fucking connection,
    once agin, of our same disposed
    situations...and have to wonder
    what are we feeling here?

  • I have enjoyed reading your poetry, Your very talented,  Alisdaire
