In a dark room

With one window

To look out

So high though

That all you can see

Is the light streaming in

You know there is something out there

You just don’t know what

.

You wonder

Should you be content to sit in the dark

Knowing you are safe

As long as you see the light shine

Or

Should you attempt to climb

Up to the window

To see out

Look upon it

Everything that is denied to you

.

Will you run to it

The unknown

Or stay hidden

In the dark safe room

The room that has kept you safe

Never hurting you

But never helping you

Should you risk losing all you have

For a wish for something better
