Wall and Beyond

While hiding behind the wall

Eyes seem intrigued by the restrictions

Ears pressed on the unfeeling bosom

Feelings trapped in every fold

Feet cannot travel without vision

Stuck between tufts of grass

Pulsating heart seeks some travel

While the mind entangled in a probe

A resistance attired in gray

Stands firm in face of utter dismay

Certainly, the world beyond beckons

Not under duress, but a captive fear

Life may brim with extreme enthusiasm

The experiences may not be worth

Just a wall is enough to arouse anxiety

That may birth everyday dilemma

Without heart to heart conversation

One cannot comprehend the world

Here, behind a wall and introspection

Seeking ways to surmount a challenge

Where walls pulsate with city’s ordains
