(recognize) the hate

you're my light
in this hazy darkness
the forest echoes my past
like a monster trying to crawl inside me

i've locked myself safe
so very very safe
in this safe
of a glass box
which is screaming
like a tortured animal

from a warm home
but from a cold room
kingdom of mirrors to avoid
becoming like you

could i moult myself
in this safe
so i could feel free (again)?
