Powerless

by ShadowDancer   Jan 19, 2006


Bound to a table
Her body stripped bare
Her screams ringing in her ears
No one seems to care

Knives cut and graze her
Her body bruised and broke
Her scarred mind in tatters
With sobs she starts to choke

Although people surround her
And she recognizes each face
No-one will move to save her
She has fallen from their grace

Tormented with pain
As loved ones coldly stare
Her wrists bleed from pulling
At the bonds which keep her there

//////////////////////////////////////

In her asylum bed she pulls against her restraints
For it is now that we find
Her loved ones are powerless to help her
For she is locked inside her mind

    Orginal and haunting. The perfect elements of a dark poem. The images are really vivid, or maybe that's my over imagination, and the feeling is so...wow this poem was just brilliant.

    I liked the ending. i didnt expect it. the stanzas were a bit rocky, in the sense that they didnt all match up. you would rhyme in the first and third line in soem and not the others. it makse it a lil choppy but it still worked. good job.
