Illusory Wall

My soul is stained darkest navy blue

Tinges blue for that broken spirit hue

Blackish for helpless rage, a space so vast and hollow

A voice of failure echoes and compels me to wallow

I sink into a muddy funk, I build an illusory wall

And watch the world rush by as I meekly crawl

Yet freedom is but a muttered hello, some swallowed pride

An urge to reach out and try something new wide-eyed
