Outsider Poem by Naomi Waters
Outsider
He remembers only stone and barren walls
Bones cracking and crumbling to dust
No other human voices echo within the hallow halls
Dust coats his lungs with every breath
Eventually this unknown face found courage
He decided to climb the ebony tower
Craving the sight of the moon whole light
The man found escape amongst the surface
A cemetery
He saw himself held in a mirrors gaze
A scream the first and last sound he ever uttered
Made him flee back to the trees
Dead men stay beneath moonlight
Between deaths grip and the gift of life
Frozen in time
Dreaming of hazy days of gay revelry
Sad that this man isnt able to forget
The power of fear
Eyes that beheld his ghastly appearance are trapped in horror
Mortal lives cannot move on

This is metaphysical to me. The writer tells from an eye-of-god perspective. Words of horror, mortality, etc. are in play. It's a poem of which not everybody can catch the general idea at once but anybody can have an insight into its content analysis. Frankly, I treasure the composition. Great of a teenager. You're promising, dear poetess. Much kudos.
That was the point i was trying to convey, I am glad you understood it
