Trapped

by Ellie Langham aged 14

As I sit here
they watch over me
my every movement they can see
they keep me here like a prisoner
but I have done nothing wrong
I object to the darkness
I hoped it would bring light
but I have been pulled into the depths
I’m invisible to sight
It’s either life or death
nobody else can see
that he has been waiting for me
I will not suffer
I will not cry
for that will give them victory
I’d rather die
how can nobody else see
he only wants to kill me?
