Pain
Sorrows
Trouble
Suffering

Caged up once again
Why why why
Why am I here
What have I done

I’m going through it
Please not again
I don’t want to be in this cell
Please not again

Please hear my cries
Please hear my pain
Please get me out
Please please please

The pain I feel
I feel it every where
From my head to my toes
My heart is the worst

My heart is breaking
Breaking into small pieces
Just breaking little by little
Leaving the trails behind

The sorrow I am feeling
Everything is falling apart
I am all alone
By myself in this cell block 1

My fingers get numb
My head feels light
My breathing is going fast
My heart just stops

I am surrounded by many
But I’m so alone
I see a small light
But it’s becoming dull

The guards are supposed to protect me
But no one is around
They left me alone
Alone in the cell block 1

The trouble thoughts I have
The screaming voice I hear
Covering my ears so not to listen
Telling myself it will be ok

My tears fall from my face
But there is no sound
I cry myself to sleep
Wishing I was out

I’m suffering alone
It grabs me by the throat
It laughs in my face
Until I can’t breathe anymore

My fingers go numb once again
There’s no oxygen goin in
I start to hyperventilate
Then my heart stops beating again

I’m trying to get through this storm
I’m trying to pass it
The more I push through
The heavier it becomes

I hear the keys
I hear them rattling the cell
Someone is coming
I hear them loud and clear

Cell block 1 is open
I get to step out
I look back once
And walk forward to my freedom
