Soul Search

Here I sit gazing at the room.

Four walls and furnishings stare back at me.

Somewhere beyond exists the world.

For now though, I sit in my heaven far away from the demonic world which surrounds my very being.

Drawn I am to temptations.

To open the door, I'm sealing my fate.

My world will fill with hate.

Gone will be my compassion, my love, my joy, and my peace within.

Closed, I'll keep the door.

At least for now, I'm safe.

I do not know what the future beholds.
