The silence is deafening. How many days has it been? I can almost make out the faint calls, Of someone in the distance. But just as quickly as they appear, They vanish without a trace. So, I sit against the wall, Hugging my knees to my chest. Scratches on the rough concrete behind me Marking the depth of my agony How long will I rot in this cage, Before someone notices that I am missing?

The silence is deafening. How many days has it been? I can almost make out the faint calls, Of someone in the distance. But just as quickly as they appear, They vanish without a trace. So, I sit against the wall, Hugging my knees to my chest. Scratches on the rough concrete behind me Marking the depth of my agony How long will I rot in this cage, Before someone notices that I am missing?
