I want to be surrounded by four walls. Confining me in close quarters.
Walls made of concrete. Strong and Opaque.
In solitary I want to stand, and let the tears out.
I want to release the pressure that has built up from holding back screams.
I want to weep and cry and scream and sob.
Heartily, enough to make my eyes as red as a ripe apple and swollen like an ant bite.
Once I run out of tears and my throat start to ache, I want the walls to turn into glass.
I want to be surrounded by four walls. Confining me in close quarters.
Walls made of glass. Fragile and Transparent.
In solitary I want to stand, and look at the world looking at me.
I want the tension to build up and the strength to rise.
I want to rage and cry and push and break.
Forcefully enough to shatter the glasses and bleed my knuckles.
Once I run out of energy and the world starts to blind, I want the shards of glass to disappear.
When I open my eyes, I want no walls around me.
I want to wake up in the middle of a sea, floating on a log.
Surrounded by the vast expanse of blue.
The salty breeze would drain my eyes of the tears,
And red swollen eyes would only reflect blue.
I would look at the blue clear sky and then at the blue clear sea.
A face would look at me, smiling for the first time in a while.
