I'm Niobe
There is no end to my cry
To my pain.
I stand like a status
in the cave of life
stare at people,
capable of nothing
but to cry.
my jaws are tight
my mouth is closed.
I can no longer talk,
I can no longer smile.
I can just think;
think of what?
my mind is closed.
The sand of life has penetrated in my min,
my heart is full of hatred
but my mind is set.
I won't rest till I get revenge.
Make them pay for what they have done
To me, To my dreams.
No, I won't rest.
Though they have turned my body into stone
locked my mouth,
They can't stop my mind.
As long as my heart beats
I will stay awake and strong..
To find a way out
and to take my revenge...yes
take revenge..
Thank you Jason! To tell you the truth one night I was feeling so desperate. I felt like I was trapped in the middle of life without being able to get out. suddenly I remembered Niobe and her life story, it was very similar to mine. So I got the inspiration and wrote this down!
Lovely written! I enjoyed reading this. Where did the inspiration come from?
