Mortar & Stone Poem by Linda A

My fate is a fortress as tall as the sky
I wonder its walls like some lowly wall fly
Inside here everything's gone awry
Its stature can only tell lies
So for the truth I must vie
I don’t know if I’d recognize it when it comes by
I caught the gaze of an evil eye
With a piercing glance like a battle cry
Now my blood is running dry…
Sometimes I just want to die
There’s too much of me these walls deny
And i’m supposed to just sit back and comply
But I have to at least try
I have to get a glimpse of the sun in the sky
Thinking on it, I don’t know why
