secured in a box, these four walls
i'm terrified of being here,
encapsulated in time as it all develops me,
but no one will let me out.
let me breathe.
the entire world has its grip on my throat.
some are even punching the life of me,
beating me up, and embedding me into the ground.
the solid flavor of betrayal resides on my tongue.
a taste i cannot forget.
buried alive.
you're all burying me alive,
walking by as i submerge deeper.
disappearing into the earth.
quicksand.
no one would dare to find me or save me.
i was never worth the risk anyway.
