Trapped within a calcium cage
Encased by epidermis
Desperately pounding
'Gainst crimson walls
For the chance to one day
Burst free
Gushing blood with every beating
Eternally whipped to keep me screaming
I quiet down, but never stop
- Can't wait until they let me drop
Two guards remain forever near
- The cause of endless torment -
Pumping me full
Of toxic gas
To keep me from falling
Asleep
Gushing blood with every beating
Eternally whipped to keep me screaming
I quiet down, but never stop
- Can't wait until they let me drop

*A/N: Haven't posted a poem for a while (and, honestly, haven't written very often this summer, what with moving and everything), so I decided to get back into it. This poem is just an idea I had a couple days ago. I think the third stanza seems a bit off in terms of flow/rhythm. I'm also not sure I like how abrubt the ending is. Any thoughts?
