People in smart uniform point at my and talk in a strange language. They don't understand. I am not a plaything. I am alive, like them, a creature to be respected. Not to be prodded and poked. I need air, I need my home. My real home.

Trap me, consume me. Please let me go. I scream, I cry. But you've stooped so low. Your walls keep me in, I beg to be free, But for this room, Only you hold the key. Torture me, break me.

#nightdwellers I've never felt so alone. Although I'm not on my own. Surround by people... yet here I am, The only one stood still in the sea of the damned.
