Light.
The unexplained light.
light that swirls and dances
light that won’t stay in your hands
light that is fleeting
light that sets beneath cold horizons
and suddenly you cant breath
Suddenly you can think
You’re trapped in a world where you’re all alone
Where you reach your hand for help
And everyone just keeps walking
Where you can scream
but not make a sound
Where tears must stay in your eyes
And words stick in your throat
The same light that once danced for you
Once made you happy
Now mocks you as you drown
In inescapable darkness
I want out
Dear god, please,
Just let me think,
Let me breathe
Let me feel,
because I’ve gone numb
Because I’m scared
Because I feel so impossibly alone
I want to get out
But I can’t
I am trapped,
I am
Caged.
