I am living in a capsule
I am shielded from outside forces,
hurting
pain
and
sallow emotions
these are orange
I am shielded by this boundary
that my mind constructed
A prisoner to my own ways
forever defending me
from your
rude
and stabbing
jagged jars
and your
sharp
and jarring
warnings
these are red
it may sound nice
that I am immune
this is blue
But the privilege of the good emotions
all the
warm
and happy
delicious laughs
which are yellow
I no longer have
because I am a prisoner
of cause and effect-
you cause and I deflect
Now I am an outsider on the inside
forever watching all the colors
as they
bounce off my capsule wall.
