Looking Outside In
April 6, 2011
when i look up into the sky i see green,
i don't see blue like everyone else.
because i stand alone.
in the middle of a dream,
surrounded by trees in a meadow.
where all the birds sing
and the bark on the trees is as soft as the sky.
a place i call home.
i invision the sky beyond my beloved trees.
i see this bright light,
but i am afraid.
afraid,
because under these trees is what i have become accustomed too;
darkness.
the unknown is a scary thing,
but one day i will climb one of those trees
and embrace the light that scares me so.
