Allegory of the Cave Sonnet

1. What a life we have here in this dark cave,
2. It is all we know, except for the brave.
3. They dare to turn their heads to the bright light,
4. And fight the shackles to reach the close day.
5. We're scared to venture into the unknown.
6. By sitting here, all of our lives are blown.
7. We're limited in what we see and do.
8. Most of the people do not have a clue.
9. There are shadows of something behind us.
10. But we choose to ignore it without fuss.
11. It is time to break these chains and be free.
12. The only thing stopping myself is me.
13. It takes some time for my eyes to adjust.
14. Once they do, there's a whole new world for us.
