Confinement At Age 11
by Suzanne Avino-Brittain

confinement of a person will NEVER be confinement of the soul

Being in a box day and night
holding on to sanity, holding on tight.
Praying they'll let me out, just set me free
hoping the men will leave me alone and let me be.
Meals get served to me one by one
through a little hole I see the moon and sun.
seconds feel like minutes and minutes like hours
I get out for 10 minutes,to go to the showers.
Nothing to read knowone to talk to
no pen, no paper, nothing to do.
when will this end should I give in
let the insanity start to push from within.
No! I can't, I've got to stay strong
I can do it, it won't be very long.
Oh god help me I can't bare anymore
please make them come and open the door.
I'm fading help, please help me now
make them stop and heal me somehow.
