What kind of state is this state that I am in?
Has the world put me in a state I've never been?
I really would like to go out into the light.
But I don't think I can manage it, at least not tonight.
But someday I will. You wait, you'll see.
Then in a far better state I will be.
Brave and true and shining like the sun.
I will be an inspiration to everyone!
But for now I better stay where I am at.
Safe and secure. Is there something wrong with that?
Am I a coward? Is that what you say?
Crippled in a particular,peculiar way?
Right now I am maimed and a little messed up.
But soon I will heal and get all dressed up.
And I'll go outside into the bright light.
But I think for now I'll just say goodnight.
