I'm at the bottom
But I can't go up
And so I remain
Searching
Searching for a way out
I'm all alone
Can't get out
No way out
Not the walls
Nor the floor
My walls are closing in
I'm suffocating
I'm dying
I'm be gone
Forgotten
No one'll find me
Nor will they look
The walls
So close
What do I do?
No one to care for me
No one to help
And once I'm gone
No one to mourn my death
I collapse to the ground
Accepting death
No one to care
No one to help
Nothing to live for
Why did I ever try
To stay alive
To survive this Hell?
The hope of salvation
The hope of a hero
Of something to live for
Hope is lost
Hope is nothing more
Than a word created
To make the human race
Feel safer
A useless word
I welcome death
Death, my friend
But as I welcome my fate
The floors open up
I fall a level lower
And go through it
Once more
