Walls

I’m trapped
Kept in these walls, for as long as I’ve known
I’m scared
I hear it growing louder, thud, thud, thud
It continues
Let me in, let me in
They stop
Crack, crack
The light
Only small but growing bigger
They tremble
These walls of my creation
He’s in
Slowly but surely he broke down my walls
I am free
