83 - Cage

Living life behind a window,

Because the truth lies on the other side,

Glass stays cold on summer days,

So I press my face on the pane at night.

And if you look too close, like I do sometimes,

You'll see the lights outside converge and blur,

They'll call on the light within you to join,

But look away, for you- the inside is better.

And if I stood still behind the glass forever,

The world around would pass me in a haze,

A vortex of light all swirling together,

Around the girl trapped inside the cold glass cage.
