These walls are closing in
it's getting harder to breathe
as I pace and gaze,
I notice I'm the only one here
Where is everyone?
Where did they go?
Did they leave me here,
to stand all alone?
I'm nervous, it's getting dark.
As the lights get dimmer,
my heart races.
My chest hurts and my breathes are shortened.
I search and seek but still find nothing.
Why am I so scared?
Can I not stand alone?
As I realize I'm a strong woman,
I gain my composure.
I can handle this! I'm stronger than this.
I may stand alone,
But I still stand!
