A Thrall Halo

Contributed by weepingprophet on Friday, 30th March 2007 @ 03:42:21 PM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems



I have felt for something in the darkness
Rather unaware
I have held my breath till I've passed out
And did not wish for air

Believe the glossy eyed truth
My darling, my love
I have not been myself
Perhaps a gift from above

Instead of feeling anything
Through my own hands
I have felt through and for others
Such insatiable demands

Screaming through a muzzle
Never truly being heard
Searching for the letters
To form a non existent word

Claustrophobia sets in
as I struggle on
Clawing for an escape
A way to face the dawn

I'm still reaching in the darkness
hoping to feel
Holding my breath
until the reveal

All I am
locked inside someone else
until
until

Hope begins to wish for air
I flee from the darkness
Suddenly aware
That fear has left me bound
In the muzzle of false control
Realization is where I'll be found
And acceptance shall make me whole

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Control:to exercise restraint or direction over; dominate; command
And what is "control" without "power"???
Power:the possession of CONTROL or command over others
or perhaps they are the same.....

This piece is a reminder of my past..I was controlled by anothers expectations of me to the point I lost myself..when I grew lonely enough to get myself back I broke out of captivity and now I have the wings of freedom..and no one shall capture or control me again...This piece was a very special reminder of how I value my free mind and space. Thanks

we are so painstakingly broken, aren't we?

never mind, we can perhaps make each other whole.

much appreciated,

Ava.
