I built a wall
That you can't see
A wall that is
Inside of me

It surrounds my heart
And hides my tears
And when I scream
Nobody hears.

When I build
The wall tile by tile
I never laugh
And never smile.

It shelters me from
The outside hell
It masks me from
What words can't tell.

But I'm also trapped
Inside my cage
Unable to release
My grief and rage

So please if you will,
Find the mistake
That’s in my perfect barrier
That you must break.

If the slightest light
Leak through to me
The wall WILL break
And I'll be free.

I built the wall
To be life-long
But you must be patient
And please hold on.

You destroyed my wall
Tile by tile
And now I’m exposed
Smile by smile.

SALLY, WHY DID THE HELL DID U DO THIS TO ME?
Yatong | Jan 30th, 2004
SALLY LAW!!! WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TAKING MY POEM? YOU SAID U'D POST WITH MY NAME, MY NAME...AND NOW U STEAL HUH? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, I THOUGHT U WERE A FRIEND...



I'M SORRY
Sally | May 3rd, 2004
i didn't steal your poem...when i sent it in i sed "please give credit to Yatong" but the TIG members for some reason did NOT put that on...i'm really sorry if you feel i offended you. So for all readers...please take note this poem is created by Yatong and not me. But i really like this poem when i first read it, i feel it represents youth and in the way alot of them feel nowadays. As in how they do not express their feelings when suffering through depression or other emotions. I think youth should be though, there are alot of people who do care out there and are willing to help if you're in need of it....so once again i'm truly sorry Yatong for this misunderstanding.



Good Job Yatong!
