There's just too much pressure in here. It's completely surrounding ever corner and side of me. But no matter what I try to do, the unbreakable barrier of building blocks is confident. Is strong. Is more than I can take.
I can see everyone, but no one seems to be able to see me.
Something happened one day. A block fell out. I relaxed and started thinking about what was on the outside of my personal prison and a block just fell out. A gust of crisp, cool air came through and blew my tangled hair out of my eyes. A few people got to see me. Some people noticed me. But no one smiled. No one talked to me. No one really cared.
Everyday since then, I have tried to make it happen again. But now it's just forced. Now that I know what I need to do to break down the wall, it isn't as easy anymore! When I make my attempt, it's now just fake and caked with phoniness.
In desperation I cry
OH GOD. I can't do this anymore.
The whole
wall
falls.
I look over to my right.
How long have you been here, I ask.
I have always been here, my daughter. I was just waiting on you to remember.
