Hermit

Staring through...
The broken roof
I peer...
Between my fears

Questioning my existence...
I ask myself
Is there acceptance..?
To be found

-
I'm tired...
But not broken
I tried...
To be outspoken

But your eyes would not stand for it
The glares and snares deemed it forbidden
Since then I shut myself out and away in the distance

Locked inside my mind / Afraid of all humankind
I fell under the pressure / Damaged by society's pleasure
I let go of all possessions / I threw away my humiliation


Dub me another lonely soul
For I am no longer meant this world
I ripped your burdens away from my shoulders

Old bones...
Skin of stone
I'm alone...
In my home

-
Behind my...
Completely exhausted eyes
I am...
Looking back again

Accepting that...
I wouldn't last
The cruelty...
Of this reality
Disconnect my emotions
To indulge in my ruins

I've never read a poem quite like this before. The emotion you conveyed in it is wonderful. :clap:
