V1.
Alone in the darkness,
Nothing at all to see
Very little to hear,
But frightening thoughts run free.
V2.
How long have I been here?
And how long must I stay?
Disorientation,
Is it night time, or day.
V3
No music, no books, anyhow,
I couldn’t see pages.
And your belt I’ll endure,
On release from this ‘cage’.
V4
Such long imprisonments,
For slight misdemeanors.
In this four by four hole,
With brush and vacuum cleaner.
V5
Long gave up shouting out,
It does no good at all.
Is anyone out there?
Outside my cupboard in the hall.
