When the door's always closed
Isolation imposed
I try the best I can

But the gulf is too wide
And I can't stand astride
Such a gigantic span

This impossible distance
Obscures my existence
Like fog hugging autumn shores

And it's building inside
With each wound to my pride
I can't take this anymore

I'm standing right here
I've not disappeared
And yet you look right through me

Do I not exist?
A presence unmissed
An unseen identity

I'm on the outside
Looking inward
These impenetrable walls restrain me
I could tear them down
But I'm afraid
Of what is on the other side
