I wish to steep my mind in twilight
To steal away to a place
Where no one can find me
So I can be alone with my thoughts
And think and feel freely

I am sick of this constant rebuttal
From those who hold their hearts
To be their homes
And barricade the entrances and windows
So nobody can get in
And they can never see what lies outside them

They are hoarders of emotions
Garbage fills their floors, and stacks high up their walls
Walls they built to feel safe and comfortable
To protect themselves from the darkness lying just outside them

Yet, I will shed my tears upon the open earth
And let it drink away my pain, in solitude
Beneath the endless starlight
Which paints the darkness, as my guide
And I will pledge my love to her
In that depth of isolation
Until I no longer feel alone
And my home is established in nature

Then, I will have nowhere to flee to, or from
As I will be with my truer brethren
The kin of natural wealth, which holds all pain that we expel
As, I do too, feel the pain
As I too am a vessel for it
And I too have been cast aside
If not made to take the shape of their desires

In this, again, I weep for nature
She cannot refuse their call to infrastructure
So, in spite of the cruelty of my fate, in being human
I am blessed with the opportunity of choice
And I can never forgive myself
