Here in Eternity
by Chris Goritski, 12
In a room with no windows or door
Just me and my thoughts, alone on the floor
This room is cold and empty
here in this place of no exit or entry.
My dismay on display
as I wither away
I lie curled in a ball
When I notice a crack in the wall.
Through the light from this hole
I feel a spark in my soul.
Could this feeling of hope
be a metaphorical rope?
Would I finally be free from this room?
I thought you would be my doom.
Like an animal, I claw at the hole
my once useless nails now having a role,
Finally, I break through the damaged wall
so eager to escape that I stumble and fall.
What I found
would now bite me like a wicked hound.
I knew this ceiling, I’d seen it before
Again, I find myself laying on that same horrid floor.
