Lost inside this place
I cannot stay here
"This is your home"
But I don't feel safe.

The walls are closing in.
I'm breaking down.
Where is the love in a place like this?

The walls are closing in.
I'm screaming now.
Where is the hope in a place like this?

I need to leave this place.
I will not stay here.
"This is your home"
But there's no one here.

The walls are closing in.
I'm breaking down.
Where is the joy in a place like this?

The walls are closing in.
I'm screaming now.
Where is the life in a place like this?

You tell me
"This is your home"
But that's a lie.

This place could never be a home.

The walls are closing in.
I'm breaking down.
Where is the love in a place like this?

The walls are closing in.
I'm screaming now.
Where is the hope in a place like this?

The walls stop.
I can't move.
I don't think I can ever leave...
Written: 7/9/2015. Sort of a vent piece. Interpret however you like. XDD Finally getting over my stupid writer's block with poetry. (I'd have the feelings, but not an apt 'theme' to convey them. But then the idea of walls closing in came and BAM! lyrics. XDD)
