241


Trapped in cell 241

In there 24/7

The walls seem to be coming closer

Minute by minute

Bit by bit

Blood rushing through my body

 

Stress

Anxiety

Panic

 

I sense the bars shadows

On my face

As sad as the dripping faucets

In our tiny cells

 

Missing the people I love

Fear of being stuck here forever

What if my family won’t love me anymore?

What if my friends forget who I am?

 

Boom

Boom

Smacked the door 

In my face full of fear

 

How am I gonna survive in this hell?

How do I get out of here?

I might as well give up on everything

Give up on life

 

I feel forgotten

Like there is no hope in my life

Or in my cell

But not just any cell

Cell 241
