Sat in my room for hours, glancing up into the ceiling, confined walls narrowing me in, so deep I land in the pouch of the room, jumping on the trampoline cushions to peek for the exit, but I was stranded, in a cubicle that constricted me in, disallowing my departure, I screamed for help, as the volume of the music heightened, where the ballroom danced, an army of people, drinking champagne and wine, I could hear the sound of laughter roar upstairs into my room where silence could only hear the sound of a choir with bass violins sharpening the wood, as they took a sudden pause, the music ceased, I could hear them snickering silently but visibly, at my exile.
