Layer of ice

I opened my eyes and my entire body was frozen
Then watched above and saw all broken...
I realized i was trapped under a layer of ice
Not able to move or speak... was I paying a price?

So close to the surface but yet so far away
I hoped the sun will melt the ice on this day
But it only brought the humans above me
My lost eyes and fighting arms..they couldn't see

Therefore I stayed below... and cried so loudly
Praying someone will rescue me and cried madly
I analyzed their faces... they looked so unfortunate
The wrinkles seem deeper...bitterly accepting fate

A pitiful kid begged desperately for some food
Two lovers quarreling... asking if the separation was for good
An old lady breathing hard...suffocating with her disease
I was the cold witness of this... I wanted all to cease

The layer of ice represented all my fears
Of not becoming one of them... I rejected their tears
I only could set myself free with my mind's power
Fighting with the cruelty... escaping from my tower

I suddenly woke up and everything was as before
I touched the window then stared at the floor
Inside was an ice barrier surrounding my heart
"Should I brake it... or chain up my feelings in the dark?"
