Trapped


Trapped
Locked into a small-space with-LARGERFURNITURE.
yall know the struggle
at night we sleep in a huddle.
But, I'm speaking to no one.
Or am I?
Do you hear me?
I'm trapped in this box.
Yall hear the echo
orhowbout
duh top of my lungs
AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
no? yall didn't hear me?
Even the sound of my voice is trapped.
Trapped in my heart because my actions only seems to set sparks.
theyareclose cuhz I hear the dogs
BARRK BARK! BARKK!
HEEELLLPP!
Dogs can't even hear me-
the cords in my throat must be tangled
or them some deaf dogs.
I'm a man, is that dog my bestfriend?
If so, do all bestfriends leave
a friend trapped?
Life Right.
Is that light I see in this box?
It is.
 
I'll muscle this box open..
 
Tough it was.
but wait..
DAMN!!
I'MINANOTHERBOX
TRAPPED
