In here

In here

A Poem by Jb

It's so wretched in here

The early morning darkness all around

I'm not rising with the world

I'm still searching for sleep yet to be found

 

It's so damn lonely in here

My fragile hands longing for your touch

But you'll never find me in this black abiss

So I know that I'm asking for too much

 

It's so sad in here

Looking at the real life, outside my window pane

I don't know if I'll ever touch reality again

For my thoughts now belong to the insane

 

It's so f*****g dry in here

My skin so dull and cracking

Give me a thunderstorm to bring back the life

And provide me with the things I'm lacking

 

I just want to step on the earth again

And be able to stand steady

Don't you dare tell me it's not my time

Because I know by now I'm ready

 

I've watched so many seasons pass

As leaves fell before my glassy eyes

It's time to find a life outside again

While my former self dies

 

So can't you make it a bit more hopeful in here?

Because I'm trying to make it, can't you see?

Am I ever going to escape my shadow?

Or is this all that I'm meant to be?
