What holds me back from living?
The bars do.
They are a force field that can't be broken.
There's no way out of it.
I can't contact anyone,
and no one can visit me.
The sad part is they have forgotten me.
There has not been one person that has tried,
so I know for sure I'm forgotten.
The space is so small and cold,
Its also lifeless.
I'm the only one here,
there aren't any bones as you see in movies.
And the sad part is,
I don't need to eat.
I know that hell doesn't exist,
so where am I?
Will these bars ever be broken?
I'm so cold...

Why is that you say the same thing on each poem?
