Boxes, closed, cramped, forced
Suffocating, stuck, removed and forgotten
Beating, slamming, stretching, kicking
Release, freedom, desire, safety
Scratching, dragging, pounding
Alas, a scrape
On the hand fighting to escape
Blood slips, drops, begins to rush
Boxes, crates, finite, inescapable
Begin to fill
Rushing, crimson, rising, claiming
Banging, fighting, yelling, pleading
To the waist, the neck, the face, the top
Struggling, sinking, screaming, gone
Scarlet, maroon, fills, conceals
Nothing but red nothing but silence
Boxes, dripping, leaking, quiet

Wonderful poem! I liked Rushing, crimson, rising, claiming, very descriptive of the situation! Great work!
