Self-isolating Cave



I pull myself back
from the world
crawl into a hole
to protect myself

But the woes fall in
on top of me
I beg, I plead
demand them to leave

They mold around me
like a moldy, bad-luck blanket
smothering
any motivation

I lie huddled
in this dank emotional hole
a shivering, miserable
wreck

I may protect myself
from the world
but that doesn’t protect me
from myself

Some days
my self-isolating cave
isn’t the sanctuary
I want it to be.
