This so-called life,
is nothing more
than a death-sentance cell.
Too many years,
have I sat on this row,
alone, outcast, lonely.
I open this heart,
always there for others,
yet, no one is there for me.
I'm always there,
shoulder-ready,
yet mine remain weighted down.
Every time I reach out,
every time I open up,
doors slam shut on my face.
My cries go unheard,
my tears go unwiped,
my pleas go unanswered.
Everything I touch,
everything I attempt, fails.
My silver linings tarnish to gray.
I speak volumes,
that fall upon deafened ears.
For no one cares to listen.
And so I must move on,
for the next plateau awaits me.
That of yet another, solitary confinement.
