poem: take it all away

four walls closing in on me
there is no place to go
there is nothing as far as eye can see
my mind darting to and fro

my screams no one will ever hear
my pain is all my own to bear
i can’t breathe in any air
all i feel around is loss and despair

weakness consumes me ever so slow
my walls break one by one
this feeling no one could ever know
being in a world where there’s no sun

take it away from me now
kill my heart and all will be silent
