I am no one but myself

The empty classroom
The doors are locked
My husband's shadow
blackening myself
The dormant volcano
Erupts when I'm out
Into the outside
My soul is open
The tree is binding
The roots digging deeper
My fingers are bloody
My palms are hollow
My soul is closed
The shadow holds
The chair is scraped in
My head is pushed back
My life is not knowing
My death like a rock
It sunk but no one knew.
