Isolated from yourself
separated and compartmentalized
by your own choice
or really, you just let
it happen
Better that way though
A hallway with every door
locked is the most exciting
most frustrating
until the house burns down
The foundation is already
sliding trembling with
every slamming door
one will tumble down
Stifled in the heat
it's too hot for anything to
burn
They just die and turn
to nothing.
Locked out and
never knowing
Better that way though
