Yellow wallpaper on bare walls,

The constant hum of fluorescent lights,

Countless corridors, endless halls,

Soggy carpet scattered with blights.

I see things move, I hear things walk,

I don’t think all of them are in my head.

I always run and never balk,

Hiding is useless; I flee instead.

I’ve wandered this place for quite a while,

But there isn’t an end anywhere to be found.

I haven’t seen creatures though they’re sure to be vile,

But I’ve heard eerie noises like the howl of a hound.

I’ve looked and looked for what felt like years,

But there’s never an exit, never ever.

It goes hand in hand with my greatest fears,

Will I be trapped in here forever?
