Me

Me
In a corner
Somewhere in the dark
Muscles tighten
Pupils narrow
Hair stands upstraight
Pricked up my ears
Yet I don't hear anything

I can't hear a thing
Can't see a thing
Can't smell a thing
Only feel the floor under my naked feet
Soggy
Painfully cold

Frozen
Sick
Famished
Locked up in the cellar
Parents moved out
And I stay behind
Alone
