The Box

Inside a box, I am trapped

It is dark in here

Help me

Heart beating fiercely

I bang on the walls

I can't see

Reaching, hitting another wall

Turn over, spin around, another wall

          nooooooo

Reach up and below

To feel more walls

          Ohhhhh God, I'm lost

Silver panic engulfs me

I can't breath

          Please!!!

Crying, the strength leaves my arms

I can beat these walls no more

          Alone, forgotten

I can't stand anymore

Defeated, I can't even cry…

Then calm

And I breathe 

I reach out and feel a knob
It turns, a door opens

Then light.

All I had to do was open my eyes.
