I've got no room,
you're in my face.

Choked
by the cellophane,
that is
my life.

Struggling
only makes it tighter.

Keeping in line
outside...

Exploding
inside.

Expression
is
stolen.

Life...
a grayscale.

Who are you,
to take this from me..?

The life I've been yearning for,
wretched from my cold grasp.

The author's comments:
I wrote this when I was in a bad mood, it explains how I feel at school, when something's wrong but I don't feel at ease enough to tell someone when they ask.
