Darkness and Cold

I'm standing in the dark
looking at the world through a peephole.
Afraid that if i go out
people are gonna see
the war which is raging inside me.
That they will see
I'm not as strong as they thought.
That I'm a broken soul
trapped in the freezing cold
that surrounds my whole being.
I feel like a mouse
stuck in a mousetrap
Or a caged lion
who will die before being in its right environment again.
I wonder if I'll ever
see the light of day again.
Hopefully i'll find a way
out of the darkness
before i disappear and become
a part of the dark....
