Solitary and Confined

Alone in the silence, the walls closing in,
A battle within that no one can win.
In the echo of thoughts that twist and rewind,
I sit, solitary, confined in my mind.

The world outside feels distant and cold,
Like a story half-written, a tale left untold.
Each breath is a whisper, each moment a sigh,
As time stretches endlessly, slipping by.

No doors to open, no windows to see,
Just shadows of memories haunting me.
The weight of the quiet is heavy and deep,
In this solitary space where nightmares creep.

Confined in a place where nothing feels real,
The heart grows numb, too tired to heal.
But somewhere, beyond, a flicker remains,
A distant hope that courses through veins.

For though the walls are strong and high,
The soul still yearns to reach the sky.
And in this solitude, something is clear—
There's strength in the quiet, there's courage in fear.

I may be alone, but I'm still alive,
Fighting the stillness, learning to survive.
For even in spaces so lonely and confined,
The spirit endures, the heart can still find.

A way through the darkness, a way to the light,
Solitary and confined, but still ready to fight.
For though I am bound by these walls inside,
I am not broken, just waiting to rise.
