Sometime in everyone's life, they feel betrayed and all alone, like everything is a lie. You are trapped in a world of anger and rage and you can only see red through your eyes. No one seem to see when you are going through this time, or understand why.
But it is times like these that God takes you in His arms and tames your wild mind and assures you, you are never alone.
This poem originally was published in Sad Poems
If These Walls Could Talk
If these walls could talk, you'd know my body is dead, my mind has been taken over, that's why I am so scared, I can't control it, anger is making me blind, I've been left here on my own chained to a hate of some kind. If these walls could talk. If these walls could talk, you'd know about my fears, about all those nights I screamed for help, about all my fallen tears. You'd know about the demons haunting me at night, you'd be able to help me keep my fire alight, if these walls could talk. If these walls could talk they would say that it's all right, God sends His angels to look over me at night. They'd encourage me, say though I am alone it doesn't mean I‘m on my own. He watches me, from above and showers me with all His love, if only these walls could talk. |

LamisI absolutely loved your poem. Maybe it's because emotions are so true and sincere. I loved the poem very much especially,the second stanza. I find the sequence of emotions in it,so powerful and absolutely true. First, loneliness,fear,screaming for help,tearful cries. This logic sequence generates a sense of reality in the reader. As a whole,the poem is very beautiful and very expressive and that is the reason I find it amazing,and so will everybody who reads it. Well done:)

suzynaritaYour poem has really touched my heart. It depicts my very own experience. The mixed emotions of anger, afraid and scared had been swirling in me for quite some time when someone I treasure most ditched me. On the other hand, as I read your poem I realized that somehow, somewhere God is watching and has indeed send me an angel to look after me in order to make me a better person. And I thank Him too for giving me this chance to "accidentally" surf this website and found your beautiful poem. My gratitude goes to you too. Your poem has opened my solemn eyes and has enlightened my melancholy heart. Keep up the good work
