My Brick Room
The four brick walls had become more sturdy
Few were inside; quite less than thirty
Most walked right by, some may have been curious
Few could not get in and those few were furious
But out of them all, only small few
Would even care or even want to
But one started to walk around
And soon after, another joined the same ground
The two walked by every day
Until they decided to perhaps stay
They tapped lightly on a wall
But couldn’t get in since it didn’t call
The second took out a small hammer
Some saw and there was a little clamor
The building owner did not see this tool
But against having this, there was no rule
Slowly the second chipped at the brick
And slowly the time continued to tick
I soon began to notice the marks
And so I made some little remarks
Now, finding this admirable, silently, I
As the room’s owner, would help you to pry
And break down the walls that you seem
To be interested in to such an extreme
Maybe the brick room needed this?
Or not? I began to reminisce…
There was now a lot of damage
On your own, you could likely manage
Now that you’re inside, you’re pulled to the center
Be very gentle, it’s fragile and tender
You walk over and rest your hands on it softly
Before it lights up, it flickers, shortly
A bond around you and the center has been made
In fear, I try to make you evade
But, the center gets damaged and dulls significantly
Terrified, I try to pull you out with difficulty
The center then threatens to crack
So I give up and push you right back
Like you already did, I decide to embrace it
And that odd bright light again starts to emit
