[hometext] => A poem about a person who suffers a great loss. Then a wall is built to protect themself, only the wall is what betrays them. Denying self the pleasures of life and love. Growing cold and distant, shut off from the world.
Written 7/30/02 [bodytext] => Doomed to fall This great wall In all its glory It tells a story Yet untold A heart so cold Rejecting the pain Only to keep sane Once full of joy In love with a boy Lifted from the gloom Yet, lost to doom Too good to be true So, the great wall grew Weakening the spirit Nothing could clear it Each sturdy fragment Sealed by rigid cement Sheltered behind stone Standing alone Behind the icy eyes Beneath the stone cold disguise Weakness was found But strength was abound The wall Stood tall But before us all The great wall Will fall [comments] => 1 [counter] => 198 [topic] => 39 [informant] => Jekisa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
