Living In The Mind's Cage

61.

I'm never outside

I feel like I'm constantly under attack

With nowhere to hide

I battle with myself daily

Just to take a peek

But each time I step outdoors

The voices start to speak

Looking through the windows

Of my quiet home

I long to be out there

Going anywhere to roam

I watch the leaves spill on down

And each one does a twirl

How I wish I could be out

Just like when I was a little girl

Falling is this lovely season

As everything slowly dies

The crisp clean air

Wisps of breath

Slight tears in the eyes

All the colors free fall

I envy their display

They can just be what they want

And leave the next day

The greenest trees await me

If I just go on outside

They sway in winds I can't get enough of

But I turn around and sigh

I am trapped in my mind

I am trapped inside

But no one is getting in my way

I really do love the outdoors

And I hate the fact that I stay

I love the wind

I love the rain

But sometimes I can't get it through my brain

That no one will hurt me

No matter what I wear

Or how I talk

Because no one cares

Though the sun is pretty

Going through each branch

Tickling my insides

As each ray hits my face

I can close my eyes

Breath in

Stuck in a trance

I'm in my own glass case

As the night falls

Chillier by the hour

I am breathless watching the cloudy sky

I am imbued with power

The moon peaks through ominous clouds

It is now the witching hour

I feel the air

I feel the wind

I smile as I breathe in

No one's around

But others watch

Creeping silently along the ground

The mangled trees limbs reach to touch

Feels like a comforting embrace

Contented with the night

I fear them

Others fear it

While I know I'll be alright

And I can go to sleep

With a smile on my face

A/N: Hey guys, thought of something decided to put it here, I might put a picture later, but I'm in a rush. There might be errors I didn't get to check it. Anyways woo hoo I love how I'm getting back to my poetry, just not how I'm procrastinating with what I'm supposed to do. Vote, comment what you think, it's kinda all over the place because my mind is going a million miles a minute.
Until then.
