just so constantly overwhelming to live with.
Imagine being locked in a room, and theres no way out, a constant state of stress,
got you chained up, got restraints digging into your skin
And a key...you don't have
somewhere in the pitch dark room one of the lights flicker
One of the only ones,
And then goes out.
Imagine the hope you had in your soul,
the gut-wrenching thoughts
through your mind,
The thought…
you'll never be free.
But the hardest part,
the absolute hardest part,
is the light in the room that flickers of hope inflicting into your heart
where you know
a door is supposed to be
but there is no door in the room,
only a light flickering
every once in a while
before it goes out
Once more.
