Castaway
I am a living island unto myself,
Driven insane in my seclusion,
But capsized whenever I venture into the sea.
Every word I speak,
Strengthens my prison.
Every little thing they do,
Scares me away.
Who are they?
They are demanding,
Cold,
Insensitive,
Blind,
Slandering Hypocrits.
But perhaps I am to blame
For these gray waters surrounding me.
I am impossible to love, sometimes,
I screw things up, sometimes.
There is a certain way out-
-An easy way out-
But it frightens me.
My alternative is to build a boat.
