BLACK LIVES MATTER

A Poem: Box

Theme: Imprisonment

Photo by Asael Peña on Unsplash

These tears I cry Have felt some pain In this cage I’m pushed to insane

I barely stand With thorough fear Nail in my hands Jesus, are you here?

I see you pray Through a crack I can barely breathe I’m in the sack

I can’t hide now Privacy gone I’m with myself Feeling forlorn

Are you there? Can you hear me? Are you there? Fighting for me

The air brushes your face But I can’t breathe You feel the wind While I suffocate

When will I go? And where will I stay? Who will love me? And who will pray?

Why did this happen? And how are you here? You’re always there And you’re always near

The snow falls down Like tears on my face The snow falls down Like my own condemned race

I’m losing it I can’t go on I’m dying inside My cause is gone

Why am I here? There is nothing left Why am I here? Today I wept

Help me help me I’m drifting away I’m no one now On my knees, I pray
