      All the castles do not allow a break out.

    trapped in castles
    shimmering, monotonous
    she smiles tears

    The walls too high may mean that the will to live in reality may be too low! Lovely haiku!

    Castles can be both shimmering dreams and prisons. I like this version

      What if

      It shimmers, a veil

      Is a veil.

    And the greatest truth is that inner life doesn't have any walls..and is as vast as the sky.. free of any interference or control... May the walls melt..

      Some walls do not melt, The walls erected by drugs are difficult to cross. But walls created by being forced into sex business can become impossible to cross.

      These walls are trapping vicious walls, they do create a disconnect.

    There is no wall that cannot be demolished with the flick of a brain switch. Finding the switch is the difficult bit.

      Well said. Finding that switch is a bit difficult. With little love and acceptance, that switch can be turned on.

      Thanks a lot!

    Might there be a door or a window for escape, if the walls are too high?

      Sometimes a person is too terrified to open that window, (s)he keeps waiting for a knock at the door which never comes.

      Thanks a lot Wabi!

      They can be self constructed but in case of unfortunate few they can be society constructed walls too high and too obstinate to crumble.

      Thanks a lot for leaving your footprints here.
