Here I stand

Held back by glass doors

Unheard by the glorious laughter of a tearful childhood

No longer can I feel the warm streams of the sunny days

 

For here I stand

Hidden from my shadow

Conspicuous by my absence

Concealed by my current makeup - who I have become

 

I am a prisoner of time

Entrapped by the past

Unseen by the present

And locked away from the future

&quot;pretty words are worth being cynical over, for they are just baits to be caught in the moment.&quot; -mavi<br /> <br /> &quot;What exactly would change if I cried, wanted revenge, was consumed by hatred, or went insane with rage?&quot; -Yoshino <br /> <br /> &quot;I am your shadow. Worry not for if your light is dim, I will become darker so that you can become more defined.&ldquo; -mavi<br /> <br /> &quot;We create beautiful things to mask what we destroyed in order to create such.&rdquo; -mavi
