Words felt like swords
Slowly yet mercilessly carving
Onto the skin.
The culprit though
Wouldn't stop.
No matter how you begged and cried.
Judgements felt like thorns
Down the spine.
They laughed and jeered
But they don't seem to leave you alone.
Fear felt like locks & chains
That bound you
You searched high and low
But could never seem to find
The key.
Minutes felt like hours
Hours felt like years -
As you wondered
When would you
Be finally
Free?
