The Walls of Discontent -
This fortress of walls that I have built
To suppress my rage, impatience and guilt
I need them there to keep me sane
To keep silent the knowledge of the pain
I have subconsciously put up these bars
To halt the tears and hide the scars
And forget the years the locust ate
To forgive myself and those I hate
I’ve put them there to save my heart
In case it heals from being broken apart
These are my walls of discontent
To hide my hell to a greater extent

The Next Day
Written by J Lloyd Manring
Dawn crept up - as if unwilling
It’s prospects already dimmed by events
Transpiring before it’s birth
Harsh words were spoken - the tears shed
The emotional blood spilled
Even the door was slammed on cue
And only now does reality
Seize me by the throat -demanding attention
That I am alone…
