Brialee Turner

I am standing,
Face to face,
With a brick wall
It calls
Me a disgrace,
A hateful
Being,
One who is void of
Seeing and
I can’t stop believing
The lies.

But I know,
That the brick
Walls aren’t
People,
The words
Are not hearts,
And even when
I feel that the
Relationships are
Falling apart,
I can choose to restart.

I can lead with
Compassion,
And live in my life,
And choose to forgive,
And let my soul fly,
Let my soul live.

Pain is deeper,
Harder and rockier,
When it is kept
Inside,
Where demons and secrets
Love to hide,
We are all struggling
In this horrific
Human race,
At a straggling pace.

And so I just want to
Stop.

Stop the hating,
The waiting
To be free.
To live with beauty
And velocity
However that may be.

And to destroy
These walls that blind
My vision,
That keep me in
Emotional prison,
And just let
My heart live,
And love,
And be still.
