Compress
1,2,3,4,.....28,29,30
Breathe, resume compressions
1,2,3,4....

That's how it was
Compress the 30, breathe
Do as told, repeat

                     *fight the cage
                     break the wings
                     compress the 30, then breathe


Continue to bang against the door
Slam into it so hard,  pass out, hit the floor

                      fight the cage
                      break the wings
                      compress the 30, then breathe


How long has this gone on
When can I admit it's done

                      fight the cage
                      break the wings
                      compress the 30, then breathe


Finally out
The door came free  

Time of death
                *August first, two thousand fifteen
