Monochrome Rainbow [✔️Completed]

CURIOSITY

I miss the days 

when my curiosity ran free 

wild and unashamed 

a reckless bird 

tearing holes in the sky 

soaring across distant realms 

no one else 

ever dared to enter 

Now it sits in a cage of glass 

beaten down into normalcy and complacency 

my hands too afraid to reach 

for the cracks that still shimmer with light 

fear whispers louder than wonder 

and doubt has sharpened its teeth 

on the marrow of my bones 

binding me in ropes 

leaving my paralyzed with inaction 

too afraid to even step outside 

Some nights 

when the world is quiet 

I still hear it calling out to me 

that fragile voice 

humming at the edges of my mind 

reminding me I was once a seeker 

an adventurer 

an explorer 

a dreamer 

a daredevil 

a child who believed 

that the great unknown 

was a gift 

not a curse 

Curiosity 

didn't kill the cat 

it was the only thing 

that protected him 

that kept him alive 

safe and sound 

from the necrosis 

of his own soul
