Cage of Solitude

I'm dreading the night because I'm all alone again. The strength to survive this one is not here. Sleep is my best and worst enemy because I want to escape from reality, but I know it won't happen. The nightmares will come and keep me here locked in my cage of solitude. I yearn for a change of scenery from these four lonely walls.The walls surrounding me would serve a better purpose if only they would fall down. Feeling sorry for myself has grown old and made my inside numb. Chills sink through my body as my heart and mind go colder and colder. The seclusion is like a winter night as the cold rips right through your coat and freezes your bones. The noise might seem more like music if there was company to share the sounds with. Least I know I would be able to hear if my name is called. Peace of mind and confidence is fleeting the more I’m here. Loneliness wouldn't be so bad if I couldn't see the free ones outside. Freedom, oh freedom, I've lost the meaning of your name. I long for the day when your companionship is strong enough for inseparability.
