Within these walls
Time moves erratically
Differs greatly, from general perception
Harsh lessons learnt
Taught cruelly, without empathy
Without space to run nor hide
Left broken at times, yet stronger
Tested extremely
More so than most others
Trials no mere mortals experienced
Rebuilding the soul and heart
Only to destroy it utterly; completely
Desperation, through longing
Holding onto anything possible
Clinging, hoping beyond reason
Within these walls; I was forged
Molded from the worse of us
