alone

I'm always lonely

but never alone

I live in a house

but is it my home

 

I sit in this room

day after day

hiding from changes

only I can make

 

Waiting and hoping

chained myself up

locked by illusions

can't set myself free

 

Where is the jailer

I thought it was me

trapped by delusions

forgotten the key

 

Afraid of if not

Consumed by what if

Wanting to change

but how to begin
