The shutters to my soul close
Concealing me within
No more will I walk in a world
Full of false promises and hidden agendas
Where pain and disappointment encompass all
I am not like those who inhabit this space
Nor will I become so
Sheltered from the fray, my heart remains true
I had such hopes
Such dreams
That my time had come
A beacon
Shining bright
Piercing the darkness
For all who have lost their way
Guiding kindred spirits home
It is not to be
They who came wore masks
Intending me harm
The destruction of my essence
So now I go
Cloistered again
To wait an eternity
Before I rise once more
