Kept in the shadows of society
June 14, 2011
I'm kept inside by the black flames we call fear.
The sun feels nothing but pain on my skin.
The skyline is falling down on me.
In my cage is nothing but the safe feeling we call hope.
The sun dies down until it rises again.
But until then I'm free to roam the earth.
The moon is the only one who been kind to me.
My smile is nothing but a dark grim.
Only if others understood.
By then I would have more than the moon as a friend.

"I’m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world." - Beyoncé
Well, I like the poem. This shows how the society is just unfair and misunderstanding :(
