I Will Break Through
By dianes
I’m trapped like a rat in a trap, But the trap is only in my mind, I look one direction and find a wall, Look the others and find three more, Closing ever so slowly on me, Squeezing tight against me, Making it hard to breathe, Let alone think. I push against the walls, Trying to push them back, To break through, Knowing that there has to be, A break in the walls. I grab that mental chisel, Find a brick to start on, Chip, Chip, Chip, Till finally some light shines through. I know I’m not trapped by real walls, In my mind they are stronger than any brick wall could be, Fingers bloodied, Muscles cramping, Tears streaming, My eyes peer out through the hole I’ve made, I’m only starting to make headway, Another brick to take out, More light shining through, Struggling against the odds, I will break through… Written February 11th, 2002 © on Feb 11 2002 11:33 AM PST 18 • 0 • 12
