My own cell

Showed me the light

but then were gone

left in darkest night

where once you shone

Close all the doors

rebuild walls

barriers repaired and restored

replace the pieces that I left to fall

Better to hide than face this life

and the cold wind that blows

feel the flood waters rise

stay in the shadows

avoid the sneering vengeful eyes

I know its not healthy, to hide this way

but the other path just leads to misery

and thats a door I dont want to be knocking

so I build my own cell and hide the key after locking

Snarling sounds in my ears

the vicious words implied

ringing out like the bells of new year

or fireworks exploding inside

I let my defenses fall, fell for lies

ties and binds that blindsided my eyes

I scrawled my name in blood

to remind myself of where I once stood

the smiles worn so perfectly, I let them in

bloodstained teeth disguised by a cheerful grin

Thanks For Reading,

Peace & Love.
