Anna Mae Angana's 'IN THIS WALL' – A Poignant Reflection on Resilience 🧱

IN THIS WALL <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Inch by inch, <br /> <br />End to end <br /> <br />Your flat surface I feel <br /> <br />It’s somewhat rough <br /> <br />But hard as a sword of cipher. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I paste and paste <br /> <br />The papers that will make you glow <br /> <br />Piece by piece <br /> <br />I join you <br /> <br />To make you look colorful as the rainbow. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Day by day <br /> <br />You hide me from my misery, <br /> <br />You protect me from my enemy, <br /> <br />I may become a hag someday <br /> <br />But you’re always there to cover me. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />My great wall, your sides comfort me. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />*** 26 March 2010 *** <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © A.M.B.A.,2010, Philippines<br /><br />Anna Mae Angana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-this-wall/
