Caged emotions, fed by solitude
Chained within himself
Freed by no one else
Storm filled ocean, answers misconstrued
Lost within himself
Found by no one else
When will he unlock this isolating gate?
And show his soul that could never know a hate
When will he escape from this ostracisizing shell?
And heal the self-inflicted wounds..in which he dwells
Silent notions, kept inside his mind
Speaks within himself
Heard by no one else
A world of thought, eternally confined
Lives within himself
Known by no one else
When will he open this door of dreams?
And not suppress the fading screams
When will he come out..from behind this beaten wall?
....Innonence will catch his fall
Cutting himself open
Doesn't hold the truth
For there's no knife to pierce a soul
Cutting himself open
Only scars himself
For his skin doesn't make him whole..
So many hearts to confide in
So many caring hands to abide in
So many loves to subside in
Erasing the eyes that he has died in
But he..
Can't escape his shell, until he finds his way
Searching for the answers, lost within dismay
He can't unlock the gate, until he finds the key..
But it doesn't lie in strings and elegies
Just a secluded path that no one sees
Hidden by the shadows of solitary trees
Self-Realization holds the key....
Upon the wall that divides,
Feelings and actions collide
With eyes turned inside...
In shelter he subsides
A wandering soul, in disarray
hides behind the gate
A lonely soul, is kept away
Searching for it's mate...
There is no love without two sides
There is no love for that which hides
There is no love instilled in fear...
So on..he perseveres....
Upon the wall that divides,
Feelings and actions coincide..
He opens his eyes...detaches his mind
And sees the other side...
A wandering soul, has found it's way
Vanished are his fears
A lonely soul, is joined today
The gate has disappeared
A binding light, the answers bright
The path now crystal clear
Eternal love, bound from above
Suspended in their tears
His shell is gone
The wall has crumbled
His path devoid of dust
With nothing left to hide..
He's learning how to trust..
His story ends, in ecstasy
His soul refined, eternally
Now he's free
He's found the key..
But when will he be me?
