Rr1999 Poem by Janis Land Raymer

I woke up one day in a coffin
all alone,
darkness so heavy,
like a weight on my chest.
Suffocating,
struggling for every breath.
Frightened, alone.
Begging for my:
release,
life,
sanity.
I must escape.
What have I gotten myself into?
How do I...
get away,
hold onto my strength,
my mind?
I must be free.
The pain is too great,
I'm suffocating,
I'm overwhelmed,
I'm consumed.
I must escape...
no matter the cost.
