I run my fingers over the titanium
Feeling the hard,
Cold, surface
My fingers skim the spikes
Drawing blood
I watch it drip
Drip...
Drip...
There's an opening up top
Going above the walls
Will there be a way down?

Will it all have been for nothing?
Will I have to swim in my own blood to find out?
No ladder to escape...
Just spikes...
The spikes I can't grasp
Either to thick or to thing
To long or to short
My fingers search for something
A hope for getting out
My hands bleed more
I don't feel it
I'm to numb
I pray to find something
But always come up empty...
