Strangled.
the aching cry of a wolf can be heard,
listen closely
my shapes are turning black
it's spreading

Stifled.
every fight becomes a war
someone change the song
the record's broken
so it just goes on
again

Smothered.
I cause pain, so this has to stop
release,
a gunshot

Restrained.
I feel every pothole
not too dissimilar to my own
not a problem, I've heard.
until the city collapses beneath me

Swallowed.
you are not yourself, I see?
the rabbit in the hat,
the man
in the dress
a tea party

Contained.
I am happy now, they tell me.
The clouds in my sky are not like yours,
much brighter, much whiter, much lighter
there I go
again

Silenced.
