Poem Artwork

 

In & out,

The pain unbearable,

In & out,

Nothing comparable,

In & out,

His body writhing & twisting,

In & out,

His mind all but resisting,

In & out,

He is tied down,

In & out,

His blood and tears mix with the ground,

In & out,

Screaming from the pain,

In & out,

His attacker not caring, that much plain,

In & out,

His mind going numb,

In & out,

His first attacking his attacker quite dumb,

In & out,

The world around him a darkness of haze,

In & out,

His insides ablaze,

In & out,

His attacker did release,

Perhaps he will go now,

And leave him in “piece”,

Torn apart at a young age,

The rest of his life darkened with rage,

No one to know but his mother,

Never, never any other,

To an adult he did grow,

Before his mind did blow,

Now in a room made of rubber,

Restrained to avoid hurting himself,

In & out,

He has NO feeling or knowledge of the self…

I have known many who have endured such horrors...
The time to heal is to release the horrors and
let them out as Ron pointed out!

You've been holding it in so long, It's time to let it out. And you have. Let the healing begin.

What an existence! No one deserves that kind of treatment.

Love ya!

The pulsating torture of a tormented soul is brought disturbingly and brilliantly alive here by the repletion of the words and the short phrasing - captivating and thought-provoking, dark subject tackled in a matter-of-fact way.
