She Built a Wall

She Built a Wall, by Ashley Thompson

She built a Wall
One after another
Until she built a box

There she stays
Stored away
Without any doors or locks

No one cares to figure her out
Who cares what she’s all about

Her only company
Her cries and screams
Because she can’t get out

Love Is

Love Is, by Ashley Thompson

Love is a blessing, Love is a curse
Love can be better, Love can be worse
Love can make you rich, Love can leave you broke
Love can be the punchline, Love can be the joke
Love can be as cool and refreshing as iced tea
Love can be robust like wine
Love is to choice, as back is to spine
Love is a rebel that crosses the line
Love can be angelic, Love can be demonic
Love is a drug that makes us all a bit moronic

My focus for writing began in my teens and into my adult life as a creative outlet to relieve stress and express my innermost thoughts.
