Trapped.I'm stuck in this

July 28, 2012

Trapped. I'm stuck in this body I'm stuck in this mind hidden far from the world I know farther from the hurt I've known in a fortress at the depths of my soul. Pound after pound Day after day Incessant beating Never seems to stray. Torture. In the cruellest of forms This beating that I feel all through my body...even in my veins slowly killing me, all that's left is vain emptiness these remnants of my soul. Pound after pound Day after day Incessant beating Please take me away. Tantalizingly close You've brought me here Now push me over the edge I have no fear But, no! You just pound Harder and harder I can't restrain Feels like I might succumb to the pain.... Pound after pound Day after Day Incessant beating Finish this today!

It's really interesting how one poem can be interpreted in so many different ways!

Hmm really..those lines were actually inspired by a horrible migraine i had (which had already lasted for about a week!) while i was writing this...an incessant pounding in my head- the majority of this was inspired by my headache actually and I used the repitition to emphasize the fact that something so small had such a huge effect on me. It was almost like the pounding in my head was defeating (or beating) me...which is also quite a haunting feeling I suppose. But thanks for the feedback :)

This is a very haunting poem, made more so by the repetition of "Pound after pound / Day after day / Incessant beating." While I was reading the poem this phrase reminded me of the repetitive, eerie music that is ever present in horror movies just before something frightening is about to occur.
