I'm living in a suitcase
Covered in spider's lace
I've lain here so many a year
That my patience has become sheer
Enveloped in pity
I've seen cleaner cities
Than I - now covered with grime
Ruined by the progression of time
I am surreptitiously trapped
My heart and soul kidnapped
Unable to run for my life -
My back cluttered with knives
Living in a box of cardboard
Society has completely ignored
The grains of salt that are very real -
Frustration within is now hard to conceal
Caught up in every breath
Leaves me longing for death
Continually trapped in a void
My being is now destroyed
Although I have been pent
In an unpretentious tent
I hope one day to be freed
From this Godforsaken deed.
