Beyond the Walls

Poems · October 17, 2025

Beyond the walls, I see a tree,
mountains soaring, birds singing, a world I long to see.

Within the walls, I lie in the grass;
everything is perfect, yet I just watch the time pass.
All my life, I have been bound to these walls,
but when the sun rises, the tender warmth calls.

A new life out there, patiently waiting for me.
I climb over, toward a place where I can be free.
I step into the unknown, leaving it all behind;
the light shines brighter, no longer confined.
