Snow Blind

The world takes its grip on me.
Suffocating and strangling me.
Sending me deeper into a slumber of madness.
A snowy cave where I can be alone with my thoughts.
Where the sweeping insensitivity of the world,
Can not hurt me.
I long for the day when I can come down from this mountain top.
And look at the world with bright eyes.
See it in the light of day, and smile.
When the land is not torn apart by tremors of hate.
And the sky is not filled with the lightning of conflict.
But for now I remain in my icy domain.
A safe haven where I can live in peace.
For now i will leave you all.
For now i will remain...Snow Blind.
