Higher and higher it piles
Heavier and heavier - it crushes
Everywhere I look
There's no escape
Mercilessly they push me
Harder and harder they pound
The pressure mounts
But the doors stay tight-shut
Body struggling, suffocating
Compressed at every turn
Spirit squashed, beaten
Battered, pulverised
Yet I try
Bombarded from every angle
I try
To spring back up
But there's needles in my eyes
Hot coals under my feet
An iron fist in my side
Shards of metal penetrating my heart
And as the tears finally fall
I only wonder - why?
