when i feel trapped
i claw at the walls
the bars
of the cell that i am
encased
inside
and my hands
push against the walls
which crumble
beneath my fingertips
when i cant get out
my nails
dig into my skin
leaving bare
red
brush strokes
across my arms
and after
i am calm.

leaving bare
red
brush strokes
across my arms
and after
i am calm.
