Light dances across the walls

Headlights from a passing car

The air is still

And thick with dust

It is hard to breath

So difficult to see

Please no one open the door

Leave me here to invisible pain

Because you breath easy

And your eyes can see

But only what I want to show you

The truth isn't allowed.

The author's comments:
A random poem about I have no idea. I was thinking about when I was little and couldn't sleep. So I'd lay on the floor and watch the car lights pass over the walls.
