Barrier
A room where the walls
Are growing taller
Every second
The dull grey brick
A forceful barrier
From anticipation
Hulking shadows whispering
Their mangled thoughts
Into silence
Darkness engulfing the world
Within its ancient arms
Muttering, muttering
The flashing lights of life
A blinking mockery
Of torment
Distant figures helplessly
Crumbling into
Hot embers
Memories of a past life
Flickering, fading into
Lost ashes
The dull grey brick
A forceful barrier
From optimism
A room where nobody
Stops to hear
Your screams
