Locked inside, no one in sight, alone and afraid
‘Let
me out! I don’t want to be here!’
Screaming
in my head, angry and demanding
I’m
scared, thinking they might be hiding, watching me
Looking
out the windows, hands on the frame
Scraping
my fingers, feeling for an opening
‘Help
me; they forced me to be here!’
Echoing
through my head, louder each time
Tucked
in a corner, knees drawn up high
Tears
flowing, eyes wide, yet empty and lost
‘Why,
please, tell me why they put me in this place’
Whispered
through dry lips, repeated, like a chant
Giving
up, head falling to the floor, eyes now closed
Tears
dried up, none left, no strength to move
No
more questions, no screaming voices heard
They
left me here, locked inside, alone, and I give up
