This Room

I locked myself in here
Hidden from the game
I seemed to have lost mine
The smallest flame

As I set mentally disforming
I stared at a spot on the wall
That has forever been forming
Look, there near by
The animals in the wallpaper
Are prancing around.
I cry
My mental disarray fills the room
And out through the roof vents
My cries are heard by heaven
As they leave my tomb

I notice a spider in the corner
He fell to the floor
Taking half of his web with him
As he climbed the wall
I noticed he only had four legs
Not the eight that nature ordered
He went right to work rebuilding his web
He slipped a few times
But not a cry was heard

I dried my tears
And put on some clothes
I left my prison
I walked past a mirror
And I decided to smile at my jailor

By God,
I’m going to give life another try

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
