Trapped

Despairingly steering passed these pools of brown
Into a place of gray and black, shades of life
Once vibrant, open, hopeful, unencumbered, uninhibited
Emotions, weathered from disappointment, frustration, betrayal
Bricks of pain held together by mortar of sadness
Walls fortified with loathing, insulated, shivering
The coldness inside, lonely, solitude a safe haven from vulnerability


Gazing at this shell, steering back, pondering
When did living stop and existing begin
When did fear become a refuge
When did misery become the only company
Entranced, searching for answers in the emptiness looking back
Comforted by words and thoughts, but barely convinced
This wall keeps me safe, silently waiting the day that it breaks
