Raging winds whirl the mists about me,
Blinding me from this society.
Grey lights are all I see,
What is the brilliance that I feel?
(I've lingered for so long, imprisoned within,
Forever trying to escape.)
So alone within this cyclone.
I am obscured to the outside world.
I am transparent as they peer at me,
Phasing in and out of their understanding.
(I sit within my cage,)
The wall before me breaks into the light.
The vision falls upon me,
I see all beyond in clarity for the first time,
Loathing, horror, and disgust fill me.
My mind swells with disbelief at their world,
Take me back inside my cage.
I long for all I once knew with no more.
I stand between my cold tranquility,
And the affright that lies beyond.
All so far away.
I long for release.
If only to return to my ignorance,
To the comfort I never knew.
I've lingered here for so long,
Forever trying to escape.
The wall before me breaks into the light.
The vision falls upon me,
I see all beyond in clarity for the first time,
Loathing, horror, and disgust fill me.
All so far away.
This existence is more than I can bear.
(If only to return to my ignorance,
To the comfort I never knew.)
