Description Sitting on this ledge
narrow and precipice
both hands infront of you
the ledge steady and still
feeling comfortable

Sitting in a dark room
the same familiar four walls
your eyes excepting the darkness
the walls protecting you
feeling safe

Sitting in a classroom
the same book opened
your mind accepting without question
the teachings being preached
feeling accomplished

You sat on a ledge
now broken apart
your hands stuck in between the cracks
awaiting the fall
feeling vulnerable

Once dark, now a shart light enters
the four walls change shape and color
making you feel like an outcast
the bright light hurting your eyes
feeling distant

Sitting in the same classroom
the same book opened
teachings altering, changing fast
same words, but different meanings
feeling doubtful

Do I still believe?

i like it, though i haven't seen the movie, maybe i'll check it out.
i like your use of different surroundings, and then the emotions and the way they fit. then the way they change and how thatalters the way you feel.
very good. thought provokative indeed.

Goodbye...
