Where Am I?

I've been in solitude.
I haven't looked at the views.
Locked in my room.
Missing the trees dancing nude.

Their branches stripped bare.
But i sit unaware.
Breathing stagnant cycled air.
Isolating away from my cares.

The rains have come and they've left.
The Sun peeks through to their wet.
I've been floating to what is next.
The new wind soothing my breath.

My throat, all but scorched
Watching a dying torch
Turn off the light of my front porch.
Ember my source.

The clouds are back to grey.
Time to do not say.
Trenching through the rain.
To carve my day.

Each day i will reclaim.
As i walk within my name.
Bare the same, to make the change.
Wash away false pain.

Where am i?
I am down.
In my mind.
I am now.
I will not float.
I will not drown.

I'll make you proud.
