Home ( Original piece )
I’ve found myself lost
Confined within this cell of numbness
The air, the floor, the walls are cold
A place that offers no rest
I claw and strike against the walls
But there is no escape
For if I claw and strike once more
The ceiling starts to cave
How did I end up here
Entrapped within this cage
My jailor left unknown to me
My thoughts all feel estranged
I try to make some sense of it
But grow too tired to know
Perhaps this floor is now my home
The only home I’ve known
I watch on as life goes by
Blurred out faces intertwined
Bound together by crimson threads
While I ask myself why
Why can’t I fully see them
Their lives all on display
Faces fade before they form
Then slowly drift away
Their strings remain exposed
Binding love so effortlessly
Yet there’s no thread attached to me
Perhaps I never belonged to begin with.
