Each dropp of crimson that falls
represents a step closer to escaping
the walls surrounding me
hopefully leading me to freedom
a freedom that takes me away
from the woes that have slithered
into a life once filled with joy
for now this crimson acts as a saviour
once it is depleted only then will escape
be possible and not just a pipe dream
