poem for the waiting

by emma stiches - Cancer


I sit,
Shackled,
As I wait my sentencing.
There were four people in the room,
Now just me.
(I don’t consider her a person,
 She’s not real to me)
An awful buzzing noise, and 
The squeak of bad clarinet playing fills my head...
It falls on deaf ears.
I sit,
Shackled,
And very numb.
This place makes me numb.
Soon ill be home,
So warm and free.
Not like this little room,
I’m so claustrophobic.
I sit,
Shackled,
Some where someone’s crying,
Maybe it's in my head but,
They’re crying.
The wall star at me,
Ever so blankly.
It makes me want to cry...
I sit,
Shackled,
Waiting my release.

Reason for writing:

    i had to wait and wait and wait....if i was not an athiest id say it was hell...
