Claustrophobic Walls

Claustrophobic walls

These claustrophobic walls
That grasp and hold me tight 
Destroy my very soul
And end my will to fight
Enclosed I am in loneliness
My mind a silent yell
Age became my jailor 
And my home a prison cell
I hope each day for visitors
I pray that someone calls
But all I see in my final days
Are these claustrophobic walls
