Where Am I? Poem by Joshua Mccoy

Where Am I?



I open my eyes and see nothing but darkness and despair
While my oxygen intake runs low
My hands no longer move
My starched legs no longer bend
And lifting my head is impossible
Where am I?

Organ music echoes outside these wooden walls
Tears hang low in the air like grieving stars in the sky
Faces as pale as the naked moon hang over my room
Why do they whisper with closed eyes and hand signs?
Where am I?

People visit me one at a time but I cannot see any faces
A guy in rich robes is standing over me but I still see
Nothing but darkness and abyss
I am closed in from all sides
And my home now lies under the ground
Where am I?
