Padded Walls
AS I SIT IN THE CENTER OF THESE PADDED WALLS I SCREAM. SEE THE FACT IS I WANT TO BREAK FREE BUT I CANT. I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAKOUT. STOP HOLDING THINGS IN. I RUN AROUD WISHING I COULD TELL TOU BUT AT THE SAME TIME IM GLAD I CANT. THESE PADDED WALLS STAND OUT. I CAN FEEL THEM CLOSING IN AND I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. IF I TOLD YOU, YOU WOULDN’T UNDERSTAND OR BELIEVE ME. AT THIS MOMENT I FEAR LAUGHTER. ALL EYES ON ME AS I STAND BETWEEN THESE PADDED WALLS AND CRY. NOW I ASK EVERYONE WHY IS IT THAT YOU FEEL YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS AND I’LL LISTEN BUT YOU PAY NO ATTENTION TO MINE. AS I LOOK AROUND MY STRAIGHT JACKET AND THESE WHITE PADDED WALLS I SCREAM. THE NEED TO CRY. SOMETIMES WANTING TO DIE, AS I STAND BETWEEN ‘MY’’ PADDED WALLS I SCREAM.
