Room in Shade

by derekis

Live on.. live long.. against all the conspiracies. Drive far, dive deep.. escaping all that you hold dear. Running away from your perpetual fears, hiding from the gaze of your judgmental peers, restoring safety by going through anonymity's cloud into the darkness, the scream chills aloud. Mirror's eyes behold my shape, it reflects feelings of other's hate. Unable to find a place to escape, doors locked all around but the cemetery gate. I can feel myself being incomplete, being nothing but a piece of meat. Acknowledging the potential in me, My only wish is for it to break free. But stuck in my own darkness I lie crying behind that heavy door between the cowardly sheep and the lion's roar.

Notes

This started out as someone giving advice to someone else but then realizing the giver and the taker were one and the same.
