A Loner

I AM A LONER I am a loner because am lonely I am who I am because of segregation When I endeavour to integration There is always a pause back to my imagination I have arrested myself to labour As a born free I am I am not quite exposed to freedom I do this to myself because I do not want to lose me If I get exposed to the radiant beauty of freedom I will not be able to find me I would devour the savour of my sovereignty I would emit the savour of my slavery why am I so scared to be seen? , to be known? I have been given the power but I feel so powerless I am lost in these walls of seclusion Ultimately the doors open it releases me to the exterior of the earths planet The sun brightens my gloomy room as I open My cheeks turned rosy by the suns grin I inhale the harsh breeze of spring My opposed characters seem to show compassion by their visage Nevertheless the exterior is not appalling in fact it is quite appealing
