Dark Days

It is so dark in here Tied to this old wooden chair Never seen the light of day Never speak, nothing to say Outside is like a foreign land Could be grass, could be sand I listen, but I can not hear My thoughts are all I have to share I never see beyond these walls Never strolled into the halls My food is brought upon a tray No one here, no one to play One day I hope I will be free To roam the street, to climb the tree But till then, I sit and wait For God alone, will seal my fate.

Nice rhyming and flow, Glyn... this puts me in mind of Franz Kafka and his novels of alienation. Well done! Best wishes, Keith
