The Unknown

The future is vast and dark
With secrets and lies hiding everywhere
Where the truth is unknown to us
What will become of me?

I am a dreamer, chained to my imagination and my childhood
Stuck in one spot, unwilling to let my ball and chain go

I have the key to the lock
But I’m afraid of the outside
I like the safety of my cell

There are no hidden meanings in here
I don’t have to worry about my life here
It’s safe
It’s familiar
It’s known

I do not wish to leave
You cannot make me
I want to stay here
Not to let go

Who knows what will become of me out there?
If the thoughts out there will eat me alive
Or if they will drown me out of spite
Who knows what could happen?
