The shadow I cast grows
the cages around me
are making me anxious
the light they let in
seems faint
still groping around in that deep dark
trying to strike that match
‘cause if I could just find that fucking spark
then that shadow would shrink
and the cages would burn.
The light hurts my eyes
I still can’t see
What’s the difference between
not seeing in the light
and
not seeing in the dark
They’re both blinding me
