"What are they doing to me?"
May 16, 2016
I cannot see; it is too dark.
I am afraid.
I am too close to everyone; there is not enough room.
I cannot breathe.
How long will I be here?
What are they doing to me?
I just want to be able to see my family again.
But I am not sure when this torture ends.
I wish I was able to speak up for myself.
