Trapped


Screaming hurts

But I need to

They can't hear me

But still

They have to

 

I've been trapped

Too long

I feel my breath leaving

I have to scream

But it hurts

 

I am not seen

Not heard

Hear no, see no, speak no

I am nothing

 

I've been trapped again

Too long

Without the sun

Where am I?

Not here-I can tell
