Caged Coffin

Metallic bars surround me
Locked and secured
Unbreakable
 
The cold feel of the cage
Stuns my body
Numbing my mind
 
Panic arises within my gut
Causing dillusion
The cage is closing in on me
Cutting away at my breath
 
Trapped
I scream a blood curdling cry
Hoping someone can hear it
Hoping someone will follow it
 
The only way to survive  
Is to be released from the outside
 
The bars are closing in
Crushing each bone  
As if they were simply twigs
 
Too easily i break
Too late to be saved
 
Accepting the inevitable
My eye lids close
Soaking in the darkness
Embracing the anguish
Of each snapping bone
 
My cage is my coffin
Bound together
Even in the afterlife
