Four walls (closing in my mind)

by Mark Hopwood   Jun 22, 2023


Four walls, closing in,
The ceiling is pushing down,
But seasick, in an ocean and I can't swim,
Can't breathe, gonna drown.

In a place I cannot be,
Trapped in a mind which means me harm,
This can't be all there is for me?
Wake me up, sound the alarm.

Wake me up, I say, but I can't even sleep,
My mind just never shuts up, SHUT UP!!
Be quiet please and leave me be.
Hope is leaking from me like liquid from a cracked cup.
