These Four Walls Poem by Amber St. Hill

This story is about a girl who was a trouble-maker and has done many things that were considered "dangerous" and "wrong". She writes on the four walls of her room, which she considers her cell of confinement, hoping to repent for her sins.

She had a friend who lived in difficult situations, was a self-harmer and survived ‘day in, day out' with depression. The girl's friend committed suicide and the girl whom the poem is about feels upset and angry with herself. She feels responsible for her friend's death and is angry at herself that she could've prevented it if she had paid more attention.

Within the Four Walls of her ‘cell' she now feels constricted, (Breathing gets harder, the air gets thicker as these four walls start closing in…) . As she sits in her room, she reminisces in the fun memories she had with her friend and compares it to the silence that accompanies her after her death.
