I live a life of isolation
Trapped in my box getting abrasions
Looking to escape… I try to hack it
No sudden moves inside a straight jacket
Don’t let no one get close to me
Just like a bear I like to sleep
Laying in the cold in my confinement
Treading on my toes like an assignment
Looking left to right, eyes are repelling magnets
Insane, trying to figure out how to act
Self-diagnosed like a hypochondriac
Leveling my thoughts all on a scale
They say it’s good behavior I just might get bail
Running in one place I’m growing weary
But it’s “safe” behind these walls there’s nothing leery
Vigilance is tiring
Maybe it’s not my fault it’s just internal wiring?
I’d like a break
Receive some warmth in this life of mine
Crack a window open, let the sunshine…
But stay back have to decompress first
Varying pressures when you surface the earth
And yet another year in this chamber…
Just trying not to burst
This is a poem I wrote a while back I would say thoughts welcome but honestly it is what it is…
Best,
Your Neighborhood Motherless Child
