Beautiful Prison of Glass
Here am I; sitting all alone,
in my empty prison of glass.
On one side I see before me;
all around the world, people in pain and despair.
I am safe here in my glass house.
Empty and all alone watching life pass me by.
I turn and see my past, standing and at me staring.
Full of pain and agony, with hatred and anger glaring.
My feelings well up, higher to protect me underneath
in my little glass house fragile "Do not tap the glass".
Turning yet again, I see in my path,
my present boldly there with confusion and distrust.
I feel the walls of my glass prison standing fragile but safe.
To cover and protect me for my heart's sake.
From the corner of my eye I see the future far, far away.
Filled with my desires that I wish I could bring near.
I have built this glass prison, to protect me from myself.
My feelings glazed in glass and tucked up on the shelf.
You come and peer inside my little glass prison
and ever so gently you tap on the glass.
Set free feelings overwhelm me, frightened and insecure.
You put your arms around me to protect me once more.
And though the feelings ache, and cause my heart great pain.
I whisper gently in your ear "Thank you for tapping on the glass."
For; though vulnerable,
finally, I live!
