An island in a cage,
A foreboding netherworld
My life unfolds on a stage
Between two separate worlds
I am the audience
The scene seems so surreal
It’s dark and glorious
The stage so ethereal
A story now unfolds
And I can hardly wait
Pasts and futures to be told
Much to anticipate
Elation is my dream
Pain my sweet undoing
My mind attempts to scream
My heart is now pursuing
What is this that I feel?
I long to write it out
How can it be so real?
There are no shades of doubt
The story now unveils
The words so crystal clear
Two separate distinct tales
A sad and glorious premier
Suspended, lost in time
A lesson to be learned
A future so sublime
A gloomy past to burn
I’m watching my own life
As if it’s not my own
Anxiety and strife
I’m trapped in the unknown
A dark and angry storm
Rages in my soul
A presence, calm and warm
Soothes and takes control
A hand hold and guide
Midst darkness and the fear
To sit with me and hide
And let me shed a tear
I feel so out of place
So vulnerable and bare
Held close in one’s embrace
A love so real and rare
