Left Behind
The iron door clicks shut behind you
When you leave the house,
Setting out to make your own adventure
But leaving me behind.
A world of possibility is just outside the window
Freedom, only mere blocks away
Mountains to climb and mineshafts to loot
And I’m stuck here, behind a door I cannot open.
You put me here
Made me with the same powers that separate you
From all the creatures of this world
Myself included.
But I cannot bite the hand that once fed me,
The hand, that can do so much more than I can.
I cannot teach you to understand.
I must remain
Behind these icy bars
watching from afar
Until the rain, inevitably,
Washes me away.
