Wall

Kathryn Poulsen

And as these people storm by with words and whispers all about, I stay by my wall and try not to fall. For their words

are echoing through my ears, making me cringe. I try to slowly blend into the wall and not the names they call me, because those will not define me.

Like all the ones before. n
