i have
locked myself
in this
dark cage,
no light
comes through.
yes, i am
shooting arrows
at the birds
who fly
above my head.
they fall
to the ground,
their hearts not
beating anymore.
and now
i am looking down
at those
same birds,
smiling,
as i slowly
lose myself
in this prison,
a nightmare
on itself.
and there is no
door,
no escape.
the walls
come closer
and i fall to the floor.
as i lay
next to the
dead bodies,
i close
my eyes
and let
the dark
consume me
