The space is small, but

The stench of Alcohol, lingers here.

I promised them I have no child

But, they didn't believe me


The heat from the other side

Starts creeping in, slowly 

They are screaming I can hear them

Yet, the metal handle just won't turn.


My dress is light blue

It seems to swirl around me 

As my head starts to spin

It won't be much longer now


I push, bang, scream, and kick 

With every ounce of energy

My heart beats fast, and

I cannot stand any longer 


The heat it's intoxicating now

Smoke is all around me 

Their screams are fainter

And I am falling asleep, never to be awoken.


The author's comments:

This is based partly on a real life experience, and partly on a dream. I had a very bad injury and was taken to a hospital where I needed Xrays, but first had to take a pregnancy test (as a precaution). In a dream I had reliving this experience, the bathroom door got stuck and I was trapped slowly and painfully suffocating.
