Away


 

 

Brightness eludes my ceiling from the dark room,

Carrying shadows of one’s loneliness 

 

We apologize for our burdens of trauma and deep injuries 

 

But the receiver just passes along 

 

There are some people who just end up lonely in the end

 

From gashes if ‘accidents’ to scars of the weak hearted

 

We try to keep ones company, 

 

But push them farther away
