The cube

this solitary ceiling is pressing low upon me
keeping me, sleeping free, here in place
no room for movement, the only thing changing is my face
im paralyzed, kept rationalized, still running this race.

these slow walking walls march to close me in
lost in time for the cost of a dime, needing a way to leave
the fall of last year left me with intentions to only grieve
the things of the past that never quite last, i was once so naive.

left to a year full of yearnings that never matured
pray to my fears that your words stay in my ears and never fade
wallow in tomorrow, maybe hope will save a day left to pain's blade
this cube in which i am pressed,is constructed of stress that has stayed

now im alone, but not lonely like before
