This feeling never goes away
In light of darkness
I find brittle balance amongst the fray
Close my eyes
Shards of hope for a better day

I can't explain this feeling
Rise from the ground n stare up to the ceiling
I stand strong
But in my mind I'm still kneeling

I always ask myself
Why do I need to escape?
Reach for the relief valve
Let go of insulation
Detached from my inner state

Inclined to shine.
Inside my mind I lie confined
I hate this feeling
A piece of mine I must find
