i sit here and build alone
slowly encasing myself to one room
and as i finish this cage
i stop to survey
these bars allowed me to observe the world,
but when night falls it's a different story.
the wind carries whispers,
taunting me and telling me of my failures
the darkness surrounds my home,
hiding me from wondering eyes,
protecting me from scathing looks.
but it can't be night forever,
and as my mind ticks away the sun begins to rise
i see happy people dancing around,
connecting with each other,
and again i am left behind - no-one wants to look at my house
yes i am lonely,
at least i am safe from the outside
no-one can get to me.
but then,
who will save me from myself
