There’s a light
Perfect and bright
Shining somewhere
Deep down inside
There’s a bowl
Without a hole
Covering up
What was meant to show
Fear was a cage
That some rays escaped
But self preservation
Completely contained it
I saved myself
One moment of pain
By trusting no one
To keep my own peace
Now the bowl
has suffocated
That precious flame
That I kept shaded
I’m just a lamp
that lost its purpose
the bowl that stopped hurt
Choked out the blazes
