The Unforgiving Room
i was trapped, in a room that was slowly closing in.
 on my knees i stayed, head in hands.
 no no no no. 
 tears fell to the gray floor.
 a sole window peered at me from across the room.
 and i knew that was my only chance.
 i crossed the room with such agility that i even amazed myself.
 adrenaline pumped through my veins, i could feel my heart going faster faster faster.
 the walls were sliding towards me, they were committed to killing me.
 frantically i pushed the window up. it moved up, then stopped.
 it was taunting me, just as the slow moving walls were.
 now even harder i tried to open the window.
 no no no no.
 it wouldnt go, it wouldnt move.
 it had given me hope, then had pulled me back down.
 giving it all i had i tried to thrust it open one last time.
 then i fell to the ground just as the walls met.
