I've Been Here Before

Is there a way out
of the Gray Room?
The Doctor said
“I hold the key.”
The Preacher said
“No, no, that’s me!”

The Social Worker
said not to wail
The Best Friend said
“I’ll post the bail.”

The Psychic said
“I see it clear.”
The Sister said
“had enough, dear!”

The Rabbi claimed
“These things take time...”
the Lawyer said
“You’ve done no crime.”

The Guru urged
“It’s not too late
Just close your eyes
and meditate.”

Instead I hunch down
on the floor
hoping Someone
unlocks the door...

Inspired by the song Gray Room by Damien Rice
