[bodytext] => These walls, will be my undoing
they speak
they clam mer to the beat of my own solitude
contently beating down any joyous mood
and purposely prevent me from reaching a place to sooth
this bloody fist is but a pebble to the force that contains me
binding me isolated
forcing me to battle insanity
my weapon of choice, imagery
the simple grouping of words produce angelic poetry
Hand me my paintbrush, my wond, my pen
and canvas of paper upon my easel
my pallet of paint conjured by emotions
from elation to utter despair
passionate reds, envious greens, sorrowful black
they're all there
no model is needed or tangible inspiration
no ambient sound of a soothing nature
the entire universe is but a paint stoke away
sentences and phrases, my pathway
a flick of the wrist and a creative spell
to transform these vicious walls into submissive gel
I sold my time for masterpieces
traded my personality for graceful poetry
given my soul for wizardry
and willingly executed my jealously for freedom
after I captured its essence of course
to display for the window shoppers and looky loos
that stroll the streets where my galleries are
the land I set aside just for the wonderer's and tourist
that want to view pain
without sacrificing their own soul
and all I charge, is time
not love or your hearts
because I've already ruined mine
so I'm incapable to nourishing something so fine
these slabs of concrete torment my reason
tossing shadows of my loved ones between them
knowing that I need them
my eyes have completely traded sides on me
they team up with these walls and form trickery
rendering my imagination my only oasis
to steal my creativity
would be stripping me of my bases
on which in I've used to build
this protective layer specializing in these lonely cases
I've beat my head against these stubborn bricks
until my skull willingly split
and whats left is here for you to read
these walls were my undoing
