In the Shadows

Lurking in the shadows
Living in the darkness
Never allowed to see the light
Confined to my cell, which is my mind
I hope to see the light,to feel it on my face

I saw the light once, it felt beautiful
The world seemed to become mine
It fell under my might, my prowess shown
I knew it was too much, i felt odd
I knew i wouldn't fit into the world

I felt different from all the rest
I thought differently from all of them
Zoning out amidst conversations
An extraterrestrial in the human skin
A mind too big for my body

Friends and family ask what's wrong with me
They understand and feel my presence
But they've been fooled for too long
And i have been secluded for too long
I want to come out into the world more often
To see the light everyday, but i won't let me.
