Embodied

How can I be both banished and captured?

I try to restore what was fractured. 

I embody lightning!

These shocks to my body are a little frightening. 

I feel myself flicker. 

Like the laughter in these halls, and shouts that seem to bicker. 

In the line, I am in the middle. 

With each day, I feel my mind whittle.

My breath is crawling, won’t someone restore me?

They hold onto my breath, the air here is not free.
