Buried Alive

Wrote it one day after reading Edgar Allen Poe

As I wake from my dream I gasp for air
My chest tightens and I begin to dispair.
I open my eyes, but cannot see
I look around and darkness surrounds me.

I reach out and find a door
I've felt nothing like it ever before.
I realize I'm trapped so I try to shake it
Before I panic I think nothing of it.

I feel around, not much space to move
Until I realize I'm in a tomb.
Not like a tomb, more like a coffin
Burried alive ... it doesn't happen very often.

And then it hit me, I'm not going to live
The box is wood and has no give.
As I begin to lose oxygen I see a light
Then I go limp and end the fight.
