Happiness was out of my tunnel vision for so long.
Just out of reach, tempting me often these days.
After getting glimpses of the light, my body responded in curious ways.
I discovered that I was scared of what could be.
The bitterness of my mind became a comfort. As if home could be so dark.
My barriers are tall and seemingly indestructible.
I have begun to ask the other people living in my small quarters why stepping out of the shadows isn't an option.
Why we can't find the sun and devour it whole.
The unattainable state of being tempts me as one voice of reason deep within my being begs for the rest to listen to their screams.
Cries for the sun quiet as the darkness becomes more vast.
A smile slips away as the darkness envelops my fragile mind.
