All poems (c) 2001, KoDeZign
These walls, the walls that trap me.
These walls that slowly wrap me
In a web of despair.
Oh to be free!
Oh! To share the glorious sun
In which the meadows freely bask.
Bathing in all its radiance,
Glowing forth in love and joy.
Oh! To be free from fading
Under artificial light.
With a cold dim glow it chills me,
It chills my bones and fills me,
It fills my soul with emptyness.
Oh how great the cost of knowledge!
For in pursuing the path to adulthood,
We have lost the joys of youth.
