Viktoria Lilith
Cube
My room, six faces
I scream at each, and every one
For they contain me against my will
And I'd rather die than be trapped
So I run to the door and flee
The sun burns
I cry out in pain
but follow through with my escape
The harshness of this world
It only shows itself more clearly
I scream as I am abashed with the noises
The screech of the ambulances
The pervasive police siren
I wrinkle my nose at the smells
The sadness
The death
The pollution
I scream and wish upon the Gods that i were back in my cube

Fantastic poem...a 10 for it...
I can so relate to this and that makes me really love your poem.
Good work!
I tried to vote and give you a 10 on this poem but I dont know if its working. Whoever gave you a 4 obviously doesnt understand the truth. You might like my poetry but hey I'm trying to promote myself through your comment page. That wouldd be rude of me.
