Ballad For a Man Walled In

Languishing inside a cell(his demons) so fierce and punishing; isolating loneliness pierce the core of his misery. Every so often, he feels claustrophobic, as if inside a coffin. Many hours have passed, and he's been calling out to no avail. His hands, bruised from pulling on the padlock. His throat, hoarse from screaming unheard. It's a hellish place! His spirit, depleting. At nightfall, the scintillating ray of right shining in, steals away. Near fight or flight, he screams, and screams; there's no hope for a rescue, and he's struggling to cope. But he's not looking at the four walls trapping him closely. There are cracks on one side of the wall; kicked forcefully the wall will come crumbling down like a house of cards. Kicked forcefully, it will shatter like glass shards! I wish for him to break free like a fledgling in maiden flight; to break free and soar up, up and away like a kite I wish for him to knock down the wall of his prison and break free, tasting the air like a Phoenix risen!
