Walking around I feel the darkness upon me
I'm ****** into a room
No one can hear me scream
Breathing becomes different
Difficult
Each breath labored out of dry lungs

The walls move in
Suffocating me
Forcing me down
Crushing
Crushing

I press against the walls
Push with whatever strength I have
Not enough
They continue to move in

"No, please don't!"
No!

But no one can hear me
I can see the shadows of others move past my box
But no one cares
They just walk by

Some stay and watch
Maybe for a second
Maybe for a minute
They tug at at the box
But than they give up
and they walk away

"Please, come back!"
"You were so close!"
But no one stays forever
They all give up on a lost cause

And that box continues to move in
I'm crouching now
Trying to preserve what little space I have left
Tick tock
Tick tock

My time is dwindling
Few precious seconds are left
Will someone come?
Who will be the light?
What person will stay long enough to save me?
Who will care enough?
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock
