The Box

I woke up and was in a room
With big black walls and floor
There was no light except for the tiny window in the corner
It was in the shape of a box
I banged against the walls
I screamed at the top of my lungs
I tried to look for a door
But I was trapped
The feeling of anxiety and claustrophobia eroded my senses
As I could feel the walls start to cave in on me
I pushed against them as hard as I could
But they wouldn't budge
I was stuck and couldn't do anything
The walls caved in and as I felt the back wall touch my back
Very lightly...
Everything went black
