Chasing Masters

by Meme   Apr 20, 2015


I am sick of living with you
in this realm where all my
moves are dictated with a
flick of your finger...

...when have I submitted
all the power to you?

Your voice never served
to unleash the demons
within me, so you took
it all -my soul- and
chained it to yours so
you could feed your
greed.. your need..

Untie the bonds that gave
you the upper hand,
.
.
-let me be-
-set me free-
.
.
I am no match for your
hidden agendas, my
fragility is far too weak.

Chasing my release in
your favorite game of
hide and seek, when
you disappear and
your shadows reappear
to haunt me.. taunt me..

I suffocate for breathing
is a privilege you are yet
to release. And I gasp only
to grasp another thread of
life. Awaiting your next move.

    The last stanza in this piece is hugely powerful. Very dark poem that deals with an important topic that so many can relate to. 5 from me!

    Wow Meme, I can totally understand this poem and get my head right into this. I understand what each line is saying, and I can feel the emotion behind the words too, I love how you narrated it to a person, and it seems directed at them in a way that you know you are not brave enough to direct it to them face to face.

    It has a real message of abuse of power, but just how much that abuse can control you, destroy you, and cause you to feel like you have no choice, and no life unless it is controlled by them.

    Wording is great, and title is very creative and fitting!

    Brilliant job, always love reading your work, especially when I can relate to it.

    It's hard when your life is being controlled by someone and you can't breathe already because of the demands. It's hard when you are being dictated and you can't already not breathe, you are chained, and you can't do anything about it but to find another chance to survive a day. You just want to break free from everything. I love the darkness in this write and how it is sustained to the very last words. Most dark poems I've read use deep and critical words, but you use words that are not that simple and not that deep, but it doesn't sacrifice the darkness in this write. The message of this piece is already dark itself. The title reminds me of the Anime/Manga 'Black Butler' and in the whole course of reading this poem that was on my mind,. Haha .. You did a great job here (:
