The Walls Hidden Within Me
Kouser wrote this very open and honest poem when she suffered a recent bereavement. Not everyone deals with bereavement in the same way, but her poem touches on things many of us feel or have felt: These walls within me are hidden from the world but clear for me to see Hidden because no one seems to understand the pain I feel of losing my best friend to someone I barely knew the pain I cannot express to anyone because they think l'm crazy, they say he was just a friend but I know he was more than a friend to me, he made me laugh smile and made me feel content in every way. He will always be hidden in between my hidden walls until I am laid to rest in peace. He will never know of my hidden walls Because his happiness means so much more to me then he will ever know he will never be like no other and no other will be like him these walls shall remain hidden within me hidden from the world amd clear for me to see.... only God will ever know about the walls hidden within me because he is the only one who knows about the pain I feel, as he is the healer to all the pain I feel....
