Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

Restrained by chains of ones own mind
Surrounded by dank shadows and fear
A sight never seen, you might find
Only if out of the cave you leer.

As unfamiliar as it may seem
Embrace the light
The darkness was only a dream
Be willing to stand and fight.

Freedom awaits you
Only then does life begin
See the world in its true hue
a cross your lips let grin.

Change is not easy as we know
But do not be your own foe.

  2. It seems to have ended too early, but well written nonetheless! :D
