Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Keyhole

There is a keyhole I peek out

To see what's going on outside.

Whatever I see, I have doubt

That it is anything good I'd

Be bettered by, so better that

I stay inside all safe and sound

Within my mental habitat.

There is no key that I have found

To open up my mind to more.

I am content to just remain

Hidden behind my mind's closed door,

To open up might just cause pain.

There is no key I want to find

To fit the keyhole of my mind.
