The Wall
stuck in darkness
only himself to fear
must escape
even so, trapped
ought not let him die
none were to love
even the closest
hadn’t known; hadn’t heard
emptiness within
lie he there
persistence in patience
maintaining silent cries
equinox unseen; yet still desired
don’t let him labor
only in vain
no avail
thrust into confinement
locked in his own doing
exclusion
there he remains
mental atrophy
even so, trapped
fixed, his wall remains
alleviation he desires
don’t overlook
eminent oblivion
