&quot;In three words I can sum up everything I&#039;ve learned about life: it goes on.&quot;---Robert Frost<br /> &quot;Action is the foundational key to all success.&quot;---Pablo Picasso


The mind can be easily be manipulated,
People can excuse
And could easily refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Living behind the shadows of others,
Ostracized from my own being,
I walk aimlessly towards a wall,
A wall so great that time could not pass through it,
But years may fly.
A wall so black,
That is reflects into my eyes,
My eyes; so dark.

Standing in wait,
I stare blankly,
My soul has become one with the wall;
The wall speaks,
The wall creeps in the emptiness of my mind.
Speaking to me in languages and words of persuasion,
With a blank expression I stay,
I satisfy myself with this wall,
My only companion.

I continue there; stuck,
Trapped by my only friend,
Its keeps me in his presence,
It knows I want to leave.
But my eyes are black,
It is part of me,
Inside of my being,
It doesn't want to leave.

All I can do is stay,
It wants me to stay.
