people? no

Light too light
Bright too bright
Wish, wish to leave
To run to hide,
Dark very dark
Pitch black dark
Cold and crisp
Warm and fresh

Surrounding and open
Holding securely yet free
Jump back and fall
Fall too far too far into the light
Outside the room of the mind

Into the light of the cruel world
No stay, stay I may in my dark room
Peeking, watching the creatures of light
Pretend I'm there with them

As I hide behind the curtain of a mask
Laughing at them, laughing at who the think I am
But back in my aphoristic room, back in my favorite place
A cage a cold steel cage with bars as thick as oak branches

With a color darker than a moonless night
Covered in deep blood red chains locking the cage shut
Inside a set of eyes watch me in the room
As I watch the outside

The creature that looks at me with warm fiery onyx eyes
Looking at me with pleading eyes to be set free
Temping me, temping me with freedom of this life behind a mask
To be free of these people, these ignorant people

People, who are filled, filled with lies and underlying but broad hypocritical attitudes.
Not practicing what the feverishly preach
Not being truthful with anyone, not the ones they love
Not the ones they don’t not even themselves

They look at others and judge but say to other not to judge them
No not to judge themselves but others
They get lost in talk, lies, and illusions
