Trapped in a jar
With nobody but myself
Trapped in a jar
Help, I can’t get out.
Nobody’s here to help me
Nobody seems to care
Eight days
Eight seeds
Two breaths
Then I sink back into death.
Trapped in a jar
Seeing nothing but bronze
Trapped in a jar
Please help me get out.
No oxygen
No hope
No friends
How did I get in?
How do I get out?
Didn’t know that I could hibernate
I guess I know now
Trapped in a jar
Unable to get out.

Wow! This poem intrigues me--who/what is it about? I love and the imagery of the jar and your use of questions to create a desperate tone.
