10-14-05 NO WAY OUT!
By LeVar E Jones C 2013

The walls are caving in around me, every single bone is broke,
Damn! Here comes the ceiling on my head, where is the hope?
Trying to climb to the top didn't work, looks like I'm stuck,
Like crabs in a basket, nobody won't let nobody up.
I'm starting to see dirt, and it's hitting me in the face.
How did I get here? Where in the hell is this place?
I'm so scared, I'm shaking, and I can't even cry,
It feels like death is looking me dead in the eyes.
It's like no way out, and I can't see my feet,
The walls are caving in, I'm tired, can't get no sleep.
Here comes more dirt, someone dropped the shovel,
Is this my calling? Is it time to go see the devil?
It's no way out, I tried everything I possibly can,
I guess that's what I get, for putting my faith in man.
I can't cry, my heartbeat is going fast,
All eyes are on me, is what I said in the past.
Am I finally lost? Is my family near?
Why is it so quiet? What is that scratching I hear?
I guess there's no way out, should I give up completely?
Did I do what I was supposed to, did I clean my house neatly?
Lord help me, nobody's here to hear me scream & shout,
It looks like I'm stuck now, because there's no way out!
