Inside the Wall
by Lyle Berry (Age: 62)
copyright 11-02-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

  Inside the Wall
Picture Credits:

The Universe is tiny when your whole world’s inside
Nothing matters out beyond the wall
An introvert just hiding - no life, no faith, no pride
Nothing matters - not a blessed thing at all

And every night when day is dead
You crawl into your empty bed
A buzzing wasp invades your head
Remembering things your conscience said

You say those prayers – all alone
And no one calls your telephone
You’re like a dog without a bone
You’ve got a room, but not a home

The Universe is tiny when your whole world’s inside
Nothing matters – there’s a void inside of you
An introvert just hiding - no life, no faith, no pride
Nothing matters - not a blessed thing you do

And every night when day is done
You think about that cursed gun
So sick of life – it’s never fun
The hand you’ve played is almost done

You throw your book and douse the light
Pray to God to ease your fright
You want to die – afraid you might
Another day – another night

The Universe is tiny when your whole world’s inside
Nothing matters out beyond the wall
An introvert just hiding - no life, no faith, no pride
Nothing matters - not a blessed thing at all…

A powerful expression of the inner feelings and negative thoughts of those who, for various reasons, hide behind a wall of introversion. I believe, from the experience of contact with many people over many years (including my own "inner man"), that most readers would connect to the theme of this poem. Well done!
