In this place alone I sit

With no sunlight shining in

Trapped inside this lonely pit

I forget how long it's been

Happiness awaits behind the door

A great black wall guards the way

Heavy chains hold me to the floor

I long to see the light of day

The world goes on without me

Oblivious to my existence

In my head I scream, "Set me free!"

Yet I show no sign of resistence

All have ignored my fiery spark

And now it grows dim as I sit here in the dark
