Empty Walls

 

I stared in the emptiness of the walls surrounding me

For fifteen minutes straight, I didn’t blink

I didn’t want things to end

The serenity of the silence around me

I was a record to myself

I was me with me and only me

Though there were people around

They didn’t bother me

I was in sanity

I was in tranquility

Until the bell rang

And they said “get out of here!“

So there went my peace

It went away

And it never came

Back

To me
