The Woman In The Wall

A poem about Bipolar Depression. Sometimes the wall gives way.

The woman in the wall called for help.

The woman in the wall called for help

She reached her hands out to grasp for touch

She watched as life continued without her

And all the while

She was forgotten in the wall.

The woman in the wall lived in silence

Life passed by as she passed nothing

Memories came and went

Days passed in a blur

And all the while

She was forgotten in the wall.

The woman in the wall decayed

What she used to be was no more

What she once loved brought nothing but pain

And all the while

She was forgotten in the wall.

The woman in the wall accepted her fate

She knew she would never be free now

Her essence was walled up while someone else lived

And all the while

She was forgotten in the wall.

The woman in the wall died

She was not the woman on the outside

The woman on the outside was not authentic

She lived a medicated lie

And all the while

She had forgotten that she was in the wall.

The wall gave way

The woman climbed out

Seeing light for the first time

She vowed not to let go

she shut up the woman who lived a lie

And all the while

She was forgotten in the wall.

She promised to live

As long as she could

Truthfully authentic

Truthfully outside

For after a while

The time would come

And all the while

She would be forgotten in the wall.
