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.

Amanda, I hope you will have a wonderful Christmas and get out and see a whole bunch of people. There are so many kind ones, and we all must remember that. God bless you! Your poems make me sad, for I feel you have had a loss.
