Invisible Bubble Universe
I have a bubble universe; it’s very big and small,
I live inside its corridors, with its flower-printed walls,
The fences are barb-wired; my doors are locked in keys,
I sit inside its room with my hands, I’m praying on my knees,
The windows blotch with tears, the sun shan’t come in,
The fence tells it to go away; the lights are getting dim,
My eyes are starting to blur, I think I’m going to cry,
No one knows I’m hidden; my sun is going to die,
I search in every room, every closet with its bubble,
I look for friendly face, I’m afraid I’m in its trouble,
The sun is dying, my world outside is darkening,
I don’t want to see the windows, my walls are declining,
Mustn’t we be perfect, mustn’t we be pure?
Mustn’t we just let these go, these windows of this blur?
I hear a door knob turning, I scream to say hello,
I listen for its timeless sounds, I wonder if I’m alone,
I hear the door bell ringing; I’m hiding in a closet,
I wonder if I’m dreaming, thinking as I thought it,
The weak voice sounds too familiar, I’m afraid it’s too real,
The sun is dying he says, leave or you’ll be kill,
The world outside is going to let you go, don’t let her leave you here,
You must go run and catch it; you mustn’t live in fear,
The windows are losing touch; I don’t know how to leave,
I adorn the walls that face me, those pretty flowers to be,
He pushes me out of the closet; his hands hold my face,
There’s no room for crying, I’m strictly in a daze,
Don’t let the sun leave me, we need it very much,
I need my paper flowers; I need my sense of touch,
Hold me in your arms I say, don’t you let me go,
Even when the sun dies, or even when it’s cold,
We must go run and catch it, this sun of ours you see,
We don’t live without it, this sun of you and me,
I say good bye to flowers, I leave outside the room,
He leads me to the window; let’s jump off me and you,
We’ll leave the sun as it leaves us; we’ll have our freedom,
We’ll scream for our democracy, the race of us will leave them,
We don’t need your sun; we have our paper flowers,
Let’s fall outside the window, no matter how we falter,
I leave outside my windows, my voice is screaming much,
I’m bleeding to my arms; I’m bleeding to the touch,
Freedom hurts too greatly, let’s close inside and stay,
Let’s lose this sense of loyalty, it’s time then to betray,
We’ll close the doors of hope, well lock the keys of faith,
We’ll remain open-minded, and hope the best of fate,
Let’s lose this sense of loyalty, in the name of loyalty as our state.
Yes, this happy bubble universe, we all live here you see,
The sunless place of faith, this lowly place to be,
The doors stained with our dried blood, the windows with their tears,
The opened paper floor, the broken down closet mirrors,
This is not the end, but a beginning!
Don’t give up hope, for everyone is coming!
Open the doors! Let more in!
It’s so cold, but we shall win!
