Solitary Confinement

Written on December 13th, 2019 Solitary confinement that is what I’m in, I am confined to these four walls and for a while now, I have been There is no one to talk to and somedays I feel I’m going insane, this must be what hell feels like, living in this pain I am to be kept away from others, there is no socializing for me, not that I want to anyway, I just want to be free I can’t escape this cell and I can’t escape this pain, please someone tell me this will end, that I will be me again I just want to live my life and be happy, but here I am all alone with nothing but me There is no contact of any kind to be had, some days I wish for it and others I’m glad I must be alone I know to work through the pain, but that doesn’t help me sleep at night when I scream out your name Please help me find the key to get out of this place inside, that’s hard to do though when the cell is your own mind.
