Just ask

Stuck in a prison
I've nowhere to hide
I've built these walls
My time, I will bide

Push on these walls
We can make it grow
I will bounce side to side
I will walk to-and-fro

In my prison there's no escape
You can spend your life here
No screams will be heard
Do you want peace dear?

I cannot open your doors
But just ask, I'll give you a task
Talking is required
In freedom you will bask.
