*
A little room
A cage with walls that collapse on you.
Your terror and confusion
That trembling moment
Your voice is breaking
Your cries unheard
Your dancing heart will still
Forever
A locked-down phase
Unnatural and rushed
*
Forget-me-not
A poor neglected bud
Forgotten and lost
*
Let your fervour
Mirror your eyes
Strong and full of glory
Wake up
Don’t be absorbed
In a nightmare
That will never Last
*
The bell will toll
The sun will
Brighten days of beauty
And restore your spirit
*
