No Way Out Poem by Latasha Gregory

White pale walls staring at my face
Laughing, mocking, what is this place?
My heart begins to race
and I can't get out

Strange voices are talking to me
I look around and there's nothing I can see
My feet move to flee
But there's no way out

A part of me wanted to die
I fell to the floor and began to cry
I shouted to God why
Why I couldn't get out

I wanted to be taken from this pain
Oxygen is leaving my brain
Could I be insane?
Could I ever get out?
