In Captivity

Through the crack
I can see a flame burning on a wick
In the distance
I can hear a clock tick
In this cool dark room
where I have no choice to lay
I can hear the sound of mice
and strange people pray
Not sure
what day it might be
Don’t know how long
I have been in captivity
Feeling so dirty
like a tiny rat in this room
As each day passes
my thoughts bring me more gloom
Oh lord
please spare my soul
Find a way to give me freedom
guiding someone to release me from this dirty hole
For what might seem like a day
very little food and water is brought to me
My body feels hunger
many things my mind starts to see
Blind folded
prodded and poked until they make me scream
My captors make me feel
like this is a really bad dream
Keeping my family in my mind
hoping someone will locate this place and set me free
Trying to maintain my strength
as time withers by, this is a hard task for me
Whoever is out there?
whatever religion you are
Please release me from captivity
as it will not bring you far
So here I am
clock ticking and what sounds like my captors trying to pray
Dear lord, why am I here
I can’t hear you say
I was only here
doing a job where I had no other choice
Now I will lie, in this dark cool room
waiting for a message from God or a friendly voice
