room

*room*

closed to the world

I move around the room,

zombied,

the un-shed tears

stuck somewhere,

driving me insane.

helpless,

unable to stand with you,

to hug you,

in your most difficult of times.

stuck in the quagmire,

a full-fledged movie,

worse than horror,

runs in the mind,

uncensored.

slowly picking ourselves,

we have to crawl,

then sit, finally stand,

to face the Sun for its warmth.

"the Earth teaches us to live for others"
