Surrounded by walls of glass.
Looking out at the world all around.
Screaming to be heard.
Straining to listen.
Yearning to touch.
Aching to be touched.
Watching for someone.
Waiting to be seen.

Pounding against the glass.
Will no one see?
Can no one hear?
How can they be so mute?
Tears of frustration flow.
The silent rages begins to grow.
Whispered pleas are in vain.
Struggling to hold onto hope.

Walls of glass all around.
Shielded from the pain.
Protected from the hurt.
Hidden, avoiding, pretending.
Loneliness filling the room.
Begging to be free.
Yet afraid to break the glass.
A self imposed prison.
