Perspicuus.

Isolated beneath bright lights
Time has gone to surpass
Whilst on these chamber walls
Hang the people of your past

You gaze intently through the glass,
I’m on display, purely an exhibit,
And through this mediocrity
I can suffer your judgement.

You’ve got me caged and confined,
Up, down, all around me walls are visible.
This seclusion is hazardous
To the bonds I used to feel.

Through the carnage and the prey I’ll whisper to you
‘I-I love you.’
What a pretty lie,
An afterthought distorted.
You knew; I blame my pathetic stutter.

And as the speakers boom and the noise vibrates,
I listen to the sound of the static and your voice,
And my self-esteem falters with every word.

With one wrong step I’ll fall,
No safety net to catch me this time.

Please let me out.

I-I love you.
