Shut Up

 


Its so dark i cant see anything 

but the granular blackness of them all

no doors open all windows shut

In dead silence I lie

prodding with my hands 

looking for a space to escape

the claustrophobic hole of nothingness.


As the quiet lets out a deafening shriek

my ears ring with pain and i plead

Mercy, mercy, Im asking of you

Let me be, let me go

Im so worn, so torn in this endless trap

Im so shut up inside these confines

that wrongly define 

what i mean to be


Is it too late?

Is them too far, those lights that trade hopes with fear?

Is it too silly to wish for a second leap?

Can i turn this around? 

make it stop, this all?

Theres no space, no light, no definite sound of encouragement

In this dark I can only see within 

and there too i see an endless abyss

Maybe ill jump and see

maybe ill find the answers 

and the way that leads me 

to me.
