Dark Room

It’s been three years since I last saw the light

I held myself in this dark room and isolated my existence

It’s the only way to be able to survive this ordeal

Without luminosity I can see visibly and heed your melody

 

Living in this trap has given me a chance to exist

Unreservedly I can convey my thoughts and sentiments

I’m free to saunter unnoticed by your condemnatory stare

Everything I do matters because it’s all I have in this space

 

I have learned to live in the dark and consent my fate

This diminutive sanctuary is my home and my dynasty

There’s no right or wrong choice only impartial resolution

Nobody said it would be easy but I’m surviving and counting

 

I may be far away from you but I know I’m pleased

The things I had sacrificed are slowly completing my life

I may have gone astray but this is where I belong

I would never trade this haven for it’s my only guard against you
