The chains of apathy hold me up
as I latently struggle
to break free
into this world of boundless limitations
I rest tirelessly
hidden in plain sight
amidst the light of the night
dreading the darkness of the dawn
and all the terrorizing
acts of human compassion
seeking the solace of loneliness
in my closest companions
wondering how a world so beautiful
can look so ugly
we are taught to have faith
and then we learn to question it
as we seek the answers to the
questions indefinite inside of us
in the space beyond the stars
we are all alone in this together;
together but alone
