The Room

I need to leave this room
It's dark, there's no windows
The outside isn't there.
Where am I? Who am I?
I can't even see my reflection
These four walls,
These same four walls
Trap me every minute of every day.
There's no door,
I can't escape.
There's no way out, I have no choice
Why am I fighting?
I am weak, I fall to my knees,
I crawl to the darkest corner of the room,
Where no one can see me, not even me.
I hide.
I don't fight, I don't struggle, I don't move.
I fall deeper and deeper into the darkness.
It's too much, it's too dark, I'm scared,
I break down and cry.
"Dear God: help me, save me," I pray.
"I can't fight, I can't surrender."
I crawl deeper and deeper into the corner.
I crawl deeper and deeper,
Until it seems I can't go any further,
And I can't.
The tiniest sliver of light shines through,
Yet big enough to see the room
For what it really is.
Slowly, the sliver of light grows bigger.
I'm almost out of the room, I can see it,
And one day I will be.
