there is a door
my hand reaches
for the handle
I grab on fiercely
I tightly grip it
I look up prepared
to see what is behind it
as I go to turn the knob
I realize
it is locked
but there is no lock
from my side
no hole
no key
I look around
in search of a way out
but there are only 3 walls
3 walls that surround me
my heart races
my palms become sweaty
I start gripping
the door knob again
my hands slide around it
unable to grip
I scream
I scream loudly
there are no windows
no views to look out upon
no idea if anyone is around to hear me
but I scream anyway
hoping to break free
hoping someone hears me
still the door remains locked
I proceed to bang on the door
fists gripped tightly
repeatedly hitting it
over and over
and over again
whilst screaming
I hit and hit
I then proceed to kick
I kick the door with my foot
I'm wearing boots
the impact does not phase my toes
so I kick
I punch
I scream
I feel the walls
they are closing in on me
I feel scared
I'm drenched in sweat
tears are falling
why can't anyone hear me?
is anyone out there?
beyond these walls?
as the walls move closer
my heartbeat is all I can hear
I'm frantic and fearful
I give one last full body kick
with everything I have left
hoping to break through
instead I wake up
covered in sweat
a nightmare of sorts.
