Unapproachable

I’m an unopenable door waiting to be cracked open, exposed to the natural but 
yet fresh humanity. Such an infinitesimal amount of air escapes through the 
cracks, just taunting me. Showing what I can’t have, but giving me such small 
doses it taunts me. When will that key be discovered, and open a concrete wall in 
front of me. The bleak amounts of light only omit pure injustice. Give me what I 
want. It’s not there, the figure, the human being that will be that discoverer. This 
absence of light is eating away at my flesh; everything needs light, pure light, to 
live. For this just erodes my skin, until it drips to the floor, of an ungoverned 
society. A society so weak it won’t even be governed. A society so weak, that it will 
not provide for its fellow parts. My society won’t allow this to happen anymore. 
The brain in my head throbs from a recollection of what is to come, pure 
excitement, and pure hesitation. The anticipation accumulates, which rubs the 
society against the blades of a democracy. Bring yourself forward, and try your 
key into a rusted lock.
