Trapped in Expression

No words can describe what I’ve lost.

I’ve  hidden and this is what it cost.

I am afraid of the pending rejection.

I ran for the sake of approval.

I pushed away the warmth of the sun.

I extinguished the brightest of stars.

I have taken the familiar path.

I am yet consumed by the exotic road.

I long to feel this kiss of the sun on my skin.

I need the stars to light up the darkest nights.

Yet I shiver.

I can not see.
