A Crowded Hollow

Hollow walls surrounding hollow halls
I feel the empty stares of faceless crowds.
The only thing that will keep me holding on
is the destiny that awaits me a year from now.
The only safe harness that I find
are familiar voices I hear as they call me to them.
I feel to hold back the tears that I want to cry
For the lack of emotion that I feel
from others to myself, to others from myself
Am I not supposed to show emotion at all?
Is the fence that was built really that strong?
Is that bond of relationship not worth fighting for?
Sure, it provides a temporary solution
answering a temporary problem...
But when does it become a solution of permanence
not by dependency, but by association
that a family might share?
Could one's only existence be derived
by the roots it brings with them?
Then I pray that we not be condemned
marooned to our solidarity and fear;
that we may bring up a big family
that may fill these crowded hollow halls.
