Captive

My body is a cage.
Its walls made of flesh and tissue
As long as I am trapped in this body
I will never be free.
My lips are sealed together
Persephone
He was so nice when we met,
Until one day he would let me leave.
I was given a pomegranate red and sweet,
Six sweet seeds I did eat.
Now I’m his half a year,
A mind of wonders,
Imagination locked inside.
Idle hands,
desperate to be untied.
Expressions bleeding,
through the veins.
From the wild mind,
To dormant hands.
Shadows line the walls
When sun light fades
And darkness falls.
And into the abyss
The tormenting pit
We find ourselves bound.
The ropes of doubt
The shackles of fear
This shadow covers me
It's so dark
They walk about
I can't give up
I'm deep in pain
Screaming for help
They are looking
They don't care
I am an animal
I AM their joy
But I need help
