Is heaven exempt?

From the concrete wall

That divides?

Or does it scale upward

So high,

It traps everything in its path?

Woe it-

Captures all air,

All hope

Suffocates and seals

And diminishes the faith in me-

That there ever was anyone outside

Of here

Able to hear

Me.

And I write letters

To people on the outside

Not really knowing if they're there-

When everyone gets frustrated

And leaves.

And I am left to unanswered prayers

Wondering

Hoping

For divinity to

Battle this demon

That's brought me to my knees.
