Two Futures Poem by Stephan van Pinksteren

Release me from my prison,
Take the key and get me out,
Let me go send me free,
I don't want to shout.

Depressing walls torture me,
Every stone pains my heart.
Break them down I have to.
Before it breaks me apart.

Save me from the darkness,
Bend the bars blocking my way.
Please open the door for me.
I can't last another day.

Send me the answer.
Give me the light,
I can't wait any longer,
Give me the strength to fight.

But Still,

I'm scared of the Future,
I' don't want to know.
Where do they take me,
I don't have to go,

I can stay right here,
Where none can harm me.
Lock the door,
And throw away the key.

Let the shadows take my body.
Blind me with eyes of sacrifice.
Let the tears of betrayal flow.
I just don't want to realize.

Don't touch the shards.
Don't put me back together.
Leave me here in ruin.
Not for a while but forever.
