The Black Box
Location
I step out of its walls.
Familiar faces smile back
Others just walk on by.
I get lost in the crowd wondering
Who am I?
I step back into its walls.
Laughter bounces off the ceiling,
Happiness is filled through the air.
I step out of its walls.
Boring daily routines haunt me.
The same steps are stepped,
The same thoughts are thought,
The same expressions on each miserable face are never altered.
I step back into its walls.
I take all from the heavens and the earth
And I put it inside of me
I have given
And I have recieved.
I step out of its walls.
My eyebrows frown on my forehead
I question my existance
Close friends have now become useless.
I step back into its walls.
I am in my second home
The home that is defined as a
Warm, safe place I can call my own
Shared by the ones I call family.
I stay in its walls.
The stage surrounds me
Lights beam down my skin
Eyes circle my body.
I was meant to be in these walls.
