Captive

By soloiq

let me out... let me out
seems I've been here forever
escape may not be possible
I'm really not that clever
haven't done anything wrong
don't deserve to die
all I do now is get older
if I get out... I'll cry
no visitors get to see me
feeling pretty weak
hear voices out there somewhere
wish I could take a peek
eating the same slop everyday
kept alone...it's hot!
o yuk!... what is that?
I think I'm starting to rot
tried to get out...it's no use
will I see daylight?....maybe
when it's your time...all you can do is
not be too big a baby
oh no!... they're here for me now
this could be it...a fight
forced out
grab me tight
must get free
use all my might
hit real hard
one big smack
hurts like heck
can't hit back
there's my mom
tired and worn
looking happy
her child is born
