When did these four walls materialize?
Could I have been so hard
asleep
I did not notice the
carpenter’s hammer
Banging and framing? Closing
me in.
No door, no window, no
staircase to climb.
Nary a toehold to boost to
the top
So I might peek the other
side to
Spy my accuser, determine my
sins.
Trapped in a prison, not knowing why or
When or if I’ll deserve a
reprieve.
Silently praying, petitioning
Heaven to
Send down an angel to rescue
my soul.
Wond’ring if anyone knows
where I am,
Cares that I’m gone and alone
in my shame
As darkness descends and I
cry in anguish,
Plead for deliverance from
the cold.
Lost and alone.
Bursting with fear.
Will someone please
Let me out of here?
