Trapped in Forever

These white walls lock me in;

I am frightened and crying out for help.

My screams echo around the indifferent room;

No one comes to hear them.

I look all around the room for a possible escape;

I cannot see any.

These walls, splashed with my vermillion blood;

They hysterically laugh at me for even thinking of escape.

There are no windows, no openings in this room;

I do not even get a good view for the rest of eternity.

I am looking at a point on a wall, my vision narrowing;

Out of nowhere, a door pops in and a few seconds later, I spot it.

I run for it and once again dissapointment flows through me.

I burst into tears, feeling my weakness take over.

My silver, glittery, fragile tears trail down my face;

Before they hit the stone floor, they transform into shrieking, black raindrops.

The black raindrops slowly sneak up the door;

The entire time, they creepily smile at me.

Once the raindrops are at the top of the door, they form a broken heart;

It is my painful, shattered, murdered heart.

Silver cracks show through it;

Red blood falls from it like water from a waterfall.

My heart is crying crimson tears;

It asks my forgiveness for causing me so much suffering.

I inevitably shriek in horror and back away.

My black, crushed, scarred heart still lies on the door;

The blood-red tears form an impenetrable soul

This room keeps me sequestered because I cannot go anywhere;

I will always be trapped in forever.

The tortured voices of past victims bounce back into my ears.

I can never escape them;

I will be trapped in forever.

Their own love kills themselves.

My love will not kill me.

I straighten up with a renewed purpose.

I run, gaining speed, and attempt to kick down the door.

To say it backfires is an understatement;

My foot never even touches the door.

I go sailing backwards;

I crash through the bleeding prison walls.

The prison was always of my own making.

I lay scarred and bruised on the other side of my prison;

I am finally happy.

The next day, a smile graces my lips for the first time in months.
