I tried to climb a wall that never existed
I climbed so high, my thoughts exhausted
Wondered if I'll ever see my journey's denouement
Pondered if the roving would end before my hands frosted
My odyssey posed, will they ever come to know of the truth
All the things unsaid in the depths buried
With moments passed and days bygone
Increasing the burden of the weights we carried
Why is it that every sentiment needs to be paraded
And feelings considered true only if expressed
Can't we live masked by a pretence of calm
Fighting within, trying to put a storm at rest
Every so often feel like shouting out loud
Blow the lid off of everything that's suppressed beneath
Unveil the scars of judgement and insecurities
Prove it to the world that it's not a myth
But again a thought of self-reproach hovers
What if the effort goes in vain
What if things still remain unchanged
A different me with the same old pain
This wall of emotions seems impregnable
A sight so powerful, we have never seen
I ask for help to breach this wall, just to find out
That the wall exists, but only within.
