The Cell

Dreaming of somewhere else to be
as I swallow misery's bitterness.

Within these harboring walls, I am alone.
Tragically, it has become my prison.

I cannot breathe nor run.
I am trapped by isolation and fear.

As I look out into stark emptiness, I hunger for some
sense of peace as I seek refuge from inner agony.

To my knees I fall, suddenly,
and reach for the hand of my Savior.

I beg of Him to not allow me to suffer demise
encased inside this wicked hollow cell.
