Exit For One

Always the outsider
this muffled insider
choices chosen but never spoken
this silenced soloist
who can never join
watch from his skin covered prison
through the darkened eyes
of the body bounced and slapped
from relationship and life
suffer in silence
watching all the skin cells
and the prisoners who dwell within
living the same hell.
