Acquired Isolation
I awoke this morning and looked at the sunshine,
I starred deep into the sky,
But as I opened my mouth to embrace my glee,
I turned away and closed my eyes,
From inside my room I only see the beauty of outside,
I sometimes reach out my window,
But when someone tries to grab my hand, I turn away,
Something tells me deep down I’m truly afraid,
Even when I’m the predator, sometimes I feel I’m the prey,
But the knowledge I’ve acquired from suffering is something I’ll never trade,
And even on the darkest of nights,
That light I turn away from the beautiful outside,
Is the sunshine in my mind, that never fades.
