Frailly erected upon two twigs
within the hallowing walls of the dusking sun beam,
I’m encircled by the furious winds of a weirdo’s no-mans-land.
This land encompassing me
is one violated by its own submission
into vision-less ignorance.
I stand here,
the temptation to reach through;
exposing myself into the obscurities around me.
Is it within this light that I am being misguided?
Is it the world beyond holding the truth
from which has deceived me time and again?
There’s only one way to find my path,
be it dark and unkind, I must step out of my life
into the world that whirls in frightening speed around me.
I gaze through the purifying threshold
feeling the eyes of the nocturnal creatures
piercing from far beyond.
They know me;
they see me,
fearing what they don’t understand.
This world is too small,
I walk amongst the folks I coexist
within these cruel existences.
I gasp… my skin tightens…
I take one last look up into my dusking sun;
“I wonder how you shine in the world beyond!”
