White Walls

Behind these white walls, he lays helpless
A bed so soft, but for him it's comfortless

He tosses and turns, trying to stop the pain
In his stomach, resides a monster untamed

Cold water and bitter pills is his feast these days
His hair's messy. His eyes are glazed

Outside the walls, his family sits
Dark circles under eyes, they break apart bit by bit

The monster in him groans impatiently
He wishes for nothing more than it to flee

But he doesn't cry in pain neither does he screams
He doesn't want his family to wake up from their dreams

Behind these whitle walls, he lays helpless
A bed so soft, but for him it's comfortless
