Survival

Tears escape,
And the sun filters in.
Relief.
The walls begin to break and crumble.
A sigh.
The tears fall uncontrolled,
Healing?
Footsteps.
A pallid hand quickly brushes away traces of emotion
A deep breath.
The wall strong and massive quickly repairs itself
And the door slams shut.
Once again pain, trails and testing are locked away
Caged in by an invisible barrier.
Hidden, carefully, from societies view.
A desperate attempt at survival.
