The Room
April 27, 2016
In the room I stay
All the night and day.
I cannot leave,
I need a reprieve.
I've been kept in the basement
By the master of placement.
I feel the air slip out.
The panic takes its route.
I rock back and forth,
My compass no longer points North.
The silence is deafening,
The darkness is threatening.
I can't see the sun,
There's nowhere to run.
I'm trapped inside,
I can't take this in stride.
I've grown too skinny,
Through the bars I could shimmy.
I know I'm done,
Now I have to RUN.
