Truly
Quiet, secluded among myself
Shadows drift and sway around
Encompassing my mind
To filch my uniqueness
Alone and misunderstood
The gates of life are opened to me
And only I can walk through
As I differentiate from everyone
Lonely remembrances
Engulf the shadows
Toiling and stealing around me
Fighting back against the normalcy of the world
There is no greatness
No joy or hopefulness
In shutting down yourself
To become another persons "normal" image
