Abandoned terrarium

I am banging on the walls

Loud, angry thuds echo around me

I am screaming for you to see me

But you tell me you can’t

You can’t see through the walls,

The walls you claim that I have built

My legs tremble as I fall

The skin on my knees curl around the gravel

And I wonder

As you walk away

Why can’t you see me through these glass walls?
