These Walls

Let me in, you scream. Banging on the walls that I took so long to build. I want to know what's going on, you plead. My hand hovers over the lock to let you in. Answer me, you say on the voice message that I've listened to six times because I long for your voice.

I want to, I cry but you can't hear me over the sad songs I play to mute my sobs. I don't know why I'm like this, I try to explain but you still can't hear me. No sound escapes these walls.
