Array ( [sid] => 2312 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Torture Room (Fear) [time] => 2002-08-15 07:08:55 [hometext] => After I long sabbatical I submit some more poems to this site. I wrote quite a few just did not submit them. I wrote this poem because sometimes this is how I feel when in the grip of depression. Hope u enjoy! [bodytext] =>
I am stuck in a dark room
Only ten by ten (10 x 10)
There's no breathing space
No ventilation
Tiny and dismal
I peer into the inky blackness,
But see nothing except
My growing fear

I hear a clanking sound
I scream as the walls close in
The trolls squat and ugly
Eyes peering out
From hollow heads
Turn the cranks
And my jail becomes smaller
As my fear becomes a living thing

The walls slowly come closer
Threatening to squash me
Like a bug
I let out a rendering screetch
As the trolls laugh - hideously
The walls turn my body
Into twisted shapes
Snapping my bones like twigs

Claustrophobic,
My brain numbed
By the chronic pain
Hunched over like a hobo
Crying on the stagnant floor
I knew my end was coming
The trolls cackling their glee
As my brain oozed onto the floor

Torture Room (Fear)
