In Here
Hello, I’m in here
You talk above me, as you
call me dear
I may be trapped in this
decaying shell
But I am in here midst my
own private hell
You talk to your coworkers
of family and friends
While you bathe me and
dress me the message you
send
Is that you really don’t
care who lies here, who I
am
You just want your work
finished , you don’t give a
damn
I once was important just
like you are
To family and friends I’d
travel so far
To comfort in death or
share in their joy
So to you and your friends
I must employ
As I lie here immobile,
helpless, diseased
Talk to me anyway, I beg
you oh please
I need to know that I still
exist
I may not respond but
please do persist
I’m in here
