My curtains are pulled
even though
it is bright outside.
Lying here away from
a world that has left me
feeling unsatisfied.
The thoughts that
race around my head
are seldom good,
leaving me lost
and misunderstood.
I dread to think
what today will bring
while thoughts
on my future
have a hollow ring.
I am afraid to live
in the here and now,
there are too many things
I have to avow.
I find it best to spend
my life in isolation
alone with my demons
and their
frank conversations.
