The familiar is all but lost Relegated to monochromatic melancholy This place holds no joy Once soothing, now both dull and lifeless This is not my happy place This is not my comfort zone This place holds no peace Backed into a box of light gray Shhh... Don't speak, lest you be heard Don't watch, lest you be seen Don't care, lest you be hurt This place holds no love A hint of freedom long gone An air of acceptance Lured by what once was This place holds remnants of a dream
Like minds Open hearts A world in words alone Kindness, pain, compassion Who's a poet to throw a stone Sanctuary Kinship Share a thought or two Running lies It's fun and games 'Til no one's left But you
