I have never felt
This lost or trapped
For it feels as though
Someone had
Dragged me across
A thousand miles
Across muddied grass
By the ends of my hair,
Flinging me
Into a darkened cage
Where my demons
Stare me down
Hungry for more
Ready to eat me up
From inside out
For now,
I have to fully face
The monsters
I have been hiding from;
Cowering away.
For I am fearful of myself
With the possibility
Of not putting up
A fight
Of any sort
And just letting them
Eat at me
Ever so slowly
Bit by bit,
Letting them
Have their way
Stealing pieces of me
While I lie there
In utter shame and dismay
But this
Would not be a battle
In which
I feel fully phased.
For I
Have done this
So many times;
Over and over again
And I
Must have trust in myself
That I will fight
Till the very end
Despite my
Bloodied,
And shackled,
And trembling hands
