The Hidden

Alone in a room
one foot out the door
and one hand clutching to a wall
that's somehow clutching firmly back
I can't remember rooms having arms before

Looking the celling
watching things that never got to be
break free from their hold
feeling for once a thing that I could always see
going round the ring
is there no escape?
it's always safe
safe from everything but me

It' just a room
but rooms can hold a lot

Fighting shadows that creep along
flickering through the light
Its just this room and me
Right?

Perhaps the time has come to find a way
to leave behind the warmth, the light and this solid safety net
because sometimes what lies in the dark
can set you free.
