My Crystal Prison
My Crystal Prison
The day begins each day When the sun rises and lights my crystal prison I look out upon the world When I have opened my eyes and risen I see people Talking, smiling, laughing in camaraderie I watch in melancholy For behind the crystal walls things are different for me I bang and yell I try to get your attention for my own release But the walls are too thick They stand firm as my struggles decrease You cannot hear me And you cannot see this prison I am held within You see me as an outcast That I am secluding myself from my human kin These walls are clear And though they may be opaque and invisible for you They are painfully obvious to me Imposing, soundproof, bulletproof, impossible to break through A slot rests at the bottom Just large enough for communication with a note or letter And as much as I’ve written I still wait for someone to let me out and make it better “HELP,” I write largely But you all pass right by, unable to read my plea I suppose the writing is too small Too insignificant to grab your attention to set me free And here I lie, still Or else sitting against the walls of my cell My thoughts wander Did I design this prison, or was I born here, I cannot tell My sanity is running thin So I can only hope that you are different That you shall take pause And that from this crystal prison I shall be absent |
