Hello.
My name is Erica. I am trapped.
They said that it was okay. They said they wanted to help me. They lied to
me, said I didn't belong. So I let them isolate me, let them put me behind
this wall, in this box.
I used to have a life, friends. Then the It's-For-Your-Own-Good
people came and put me behind this golden-glass wall. I realized that They
said they were trying to help me, but they weren't.
They had imprisoned me. So I threw myself at the barrier, but my
attempts at escape were futile. They chained my arms, yet I continued to
leap into the partition until my wrists were raw and bloody from the iron
manacles rubbing away at my skin.
I screamed; no one heard. I cried; no one saw me. Not a soul could
sense my presence... to the remaining mortals, I was long dead and gone,
like the dinosaurs. I can see my friends and family, see them; hear
them.... Why did they abandon me?
The wall itself must be explained. I say it is golden glass. It is.
The glass is so I can see what is going on, while the gold is so no one
else can look in upon me and my bleeding, tortured soul. The barrier is
thick and icy-burning cold.
There are very few ties to reality that are in my grasp. All the
others have been severed.
Isolated, alone, friendless and hurt....
Death is the ultimate release.
Let me go.
