A Test

Needles prick my skin

Taking what it needs

I fall, my mind numb and dizzy

Hands roughly grab my arms, dragging me to my feet

A blow to my stomach as I lurch forward

I want to fall but those rough hands still hold me

Bruises appear on my skin

Scars littered everywhere

My mind and body are not my own

Renewed and replaced

I am just a test, to see how strong we are

My cage is opened and my demons await for my arrival

Clawing at my skin

Will I ever win?

The voices inside will not hide

Screams echo my cage

Cruel smiles are made as I hear laughter

I am just a patient

Tortured and beat

Half dead and yet I survive

I am alive but not well

My bruises start to fade

Once again I am healed and ready for another round of pain
