Never before have the walls felt confining
yet these days I feel each wall closing in
the shadows once small now covering my body
clawing away at my will to win…
strength once my mentor fighting life's battles
now only mocks me as I struggle to rise
fortune was never a card I could call on
hate was the enemy I always despised…
yet here I am choking on all that confines me
gasping for air but still fighting to live
wondering what more this life has to offer?
but wondering more of what I'm to give?
