The Cave

A cave, it is safe, isolated, and the echos of my voice come back to me.

The world outside, they would not understand, this I confide.

However, sometimes I wish to leave, it is dark in here and I want to see.

The staleness that lingers, it always agrees - it could not have lied...

 

If I stay, I am sure the pressure will dull away.

Dullness it is, let us poke the outside; I hide my smile, it has been a while.

YOU OTHER, STAY OUT OF MY CAVE, YOU MUST BEHAVE!

But if you must, please toil your heart in crafty guile.

If you defile, I will forgive, because it brings back the love for my cave.
