And 'they' resonant mocking me
With 'their' demented glee
'They' are intimate with my pain
And 'they' laugh like some sadistic god
I have shown 'them' my scars
'They' have seen me cry
'They' have heard my silent prayers
'They' have tasted my agony
And now 'they' replay these scenes
Shattering any trust I had
I put my hands in front of my face
Trying to block out these images,
But I still hear 'them' taunting
And I scream and foam
And throw things and tear
At my weakened nerves
Until I am put in a restricting white coat
Unable to fight, debiliatated with drugs
They lock me in a room
With padded white walls
Like a chameleon I try to camouflage myself,
But 'they' find me, find my weakness
And torment me... feeding off my pain
Until I writhe on the floor
Weakened and stripped of everything

Weak as a Child

Considering that I think the "they" is your mind,the voices inside of you,I can only hope for you to shut them out forever since they seem to be causing you so much pain...I'm sorry you had or still have (for that matter) to go through this,I know it's hard shutting out things that you have no control over.However, your poem kept me reading and feeling some of your pain all the way.You really have a nice way expressing your emotions and I hope everything goes better for you.Kudos to you on a very well written poem filled with emotion !

this is good.. although i think i prefer the next one you posted, "Bleeding Cries"..
I love "Unable to fight, debiliatated with drugs" that lines lush..
hope you're okay...

Ooo Joel, this is awesome. It portrayed some amazing imagery and kept me on the edge of my seat. In fact I read it a second time, out loud, and couldn't help saying the word 'they' as if it were vermin. Amazing, once again I am in love with your writings.

Hey this reminds me a bit of what I was thinking what i wrote "Reverie" Only yours is a big darker and deeper than mine went. wonderful job. I enjoy the disturbance reflecting from this poem. I think you and I have similar strings of thought. Wonderful word choice as well.

Kisses,
