Poem: I live in a room with no windows
I live in a world with no sky
A darkness tries to consume me
I fight an irrelevant fight

The walls are closing in on me
Crushing my spirit and soul
The ground is giving beneath my feet
I am running out of air

And the world cannot hear my screams
They don''t know I''m here
6 feet under a blanket of darkness
My heart bleeds for what I''m deprived

Everyday when I open my eyes
I can''t tell that I''m awake
My world has become so black
Despair is calling my name

Happiness is the intangible dream
Like roses long since wilted
Loneliness clings to my insides
And I am a falling star...
