I seem to find comfort
within these vertical surfaces
for I feel protected
from the minds of the capricious

People tell me it's not right
and try to knock the walls down
but I do not step out
Instead, I rebuild my walls once more

This obsession with being alone
threatens every aspect of my life
I start drifting away from
everything & everyone

This addiction takes my life away
piece by piece
gradually draining who I was
and who I want to be

help.
           help me.
                             help me get out of this rut.
I want to feel and live once more.
