Four Walls

By: Akkiko

I count them.

One, two, three, four.

Four walls surround me and a grin touches my lips.

I am alone.

I thank heaven.

No one is knocking at this door.

No one is calling on this phone.

No one wants to touch me.

I am alone.

I am free.

I can think.

I can stay in my world forever.

I could disappear and float free.

I could feel wind in my face again.

I am alone.

The four walls surround me.

Pictures on them hang from my adventures.

I went skating and bowling, all in my mind.

I soared through the universe, all in my mind.

I am alone.
