Title: trapped in an elevator

i have a pale skin
especially when i'm anxious
because, i'm already a white shadow,
often mistaken to be harmful.

and now, i'm trapped in an elevator
waiting for someone to open.
a claustrophobic ghost can't really
catch up on the technology of today's world.

this metallic box with a dail pad
keeps going up and down
and these hasty humans
don't let me go out.

they can't smell my anxious scent,
they can't see my sweaty palm
or hold my hand
to calm me down.

and now, i am trapped in this
called an elevator.
