Eyes closed, there is no escape.
Might as well not look
Or pretend you're asleep.
A struggle. You lose.
A cry emerges. "You ****!"
There are more noises, violent
Slapping you into silence
You are not heard.
Restraining you, they care
For none of your words
Slowly, but surely, you mimic a caged bird
Maybe a squeak here or a scratch there
But nothing more, you cannot be heard
There's no way to raise the alarm, no way to escape
Might as well not look
Might as well give up.
Might as well break.
