This space is safe
My world is walled
The boundaries are black
I am in control
Then my soul rebels
My mind pulls right, my heart left
A torturous twist, a futile grasp for my glass walls
And suddenly...
I am slipping
Falling through the black
Contorting, reaching, grasping
Finding nothing
I land
Smashing
Breathless
And suddenly...
The splinter in my glass wall begins to make tracks
Up and down, sideways
The break spreads
I hear the cracking of the glass
I flip, and scrambling, whimpering
I try to piece it back together
But the tracks grow longer, the glass cracks
And the light streams in
I am
Blinded by the light
Shamed by the truth
Disgusted with myself
I feel the agony
Of a soul without help
I feel the fear
Of light, unseen for years
Hidden in my own darkness
Floating in my delusions
How far must I fall
Before the glass cracks...
