Have you ever
felt cooped up?
in a narrow space
that you call
your most comfortable bedroom
It could be
your most comfortable place
or the place
where you feel most tormented
A place to hide
from what you fear
but also the place
that imprisons you
the narrow box,
sometimes
it can be an echo of laughter
when other people are with you
but it can also
be a silent scream when you're alone
a bed
that only accompanies you
when you sleep
a pillow
that catches your tears
nobody hears you
because they all died
so who do you complain to
in your room
when you are sued
for mute?

that catches your tears
nobody hears you
