huddled in a dark corner
head in arms
wanting to scream, yet
Not.
one time:
trying to get up,
falling, catching the wall, scraping
and pain pain pain pain pain.
Not.
two time:
standing, trying to get
courage but failing and sliding back down.
pain pain pain pain pain pain.
Not.
three time:
managing to look and see
past all the shadows, but the world
out there, too scary. back to the corner.
pain pain pain pain pain pain pain.
Not.
four time:
stay forever and ever and ever and ever
the world outside a scary place
the shadows my only solace.
pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain.
Not.
five time:
scream beatthe walls panic
not thoughts just out outoutoutoutout
pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain.
Not.
Never.
Stuck.
Forever.
