    • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

    Secluded

    As the moments passed on
    I walked away with a painted smile
    A cover so no one would figure what was wrong
    I was finally alone to be myself

    No whispers to make me feel ashamed
    No judgements and no pressure from the outside
    I caged myself from those around me
    To protect my center from the obscene

    Alone i thought i had it all
    But over and over i would fall
    It worked only for awhile
    Being secluded

    I saw so much of what i was missing
    Scared to follow anything out of my reach
    I stood alone like a coward listening
    To the voices in my head from every which way

    Opening up was and still is hard to do
    I stayed secluded until i turned blue
    It was peaceful
    It was what i was used to

    Step by step
    Day by day
    I walked closer to civilization
    As a stranger with no record of existence

    Born for the first time
    I realized that at dat point
    Seclusion was almost the death of me
    But that's a different story

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
