trapped at home, in poverty
trapped here between four walls
i'm not sure i can take it any more
at home at least the air was free
i could walk the dusty streets free
but my kids, always hungry
here they watch me
fenced up, they watch my every move
i cannot cook
food arrives hours late or early
with bugs, rancid smell
i'm not sure i can take it any more
it's been months since i went out,
was allowed out of these gated halls
to meet friends, let off steam
just work and these walls
i'm not sure i can take it any more
hot work outside, hot here too.
space. i don't have space to breathe, to be
the walls, the walls
They are closing in on me.
