By Samantha Scott
Within for walls I wait and hope
Within four walls I breathe and cope
Most of the time I cope so well
But, just sometimes I don’t know how
How to deal with the crushing loss
With Time’s great clock, now green with moss
Physics’ avaricious appetite
Will never defeat my cause to fight
To fight for freedom, for choice, for air
I will breathe – I will live – I will not despair
For whilst there is a heart that beats within
Within these four walls a warrior grins
You may have purged a life that could’ve been
But you will not take my hope nor my determination to win
You waged this war but I stand strong
Within these four walls I see the sun
It blazes brightly with defiance:
The darkness will not overcome.
