They Hold Me Down Poem by Lina Daniels

They hold me down
They pierce my legs
They rip my hair
They gouge my eyes
They burst my ears

They let me go
They let me heal
They drag me down
It's never enough
Their hunger grows
Consumed more each day
Is this your will or mine?
Should I be confused?
I was grateful for so long

They chop my nose
They tear my tongue
They burst my ears
They scald my privates
Can I be one of them now?
I've worked so hard

They split my back in two
They stab my chest
They gnaw my stomach
My creator watches on
My mind begs
I pray until they scorch my head
My brain goes up in flames
They can't touch my soul
He tries to reach it
I snatch it away
I run away
I hid it away

No one will hear my hauntings
I can only haunt myself
I can taunt myself
I can trip myself
I can fry myself
I can execute myself
I can crucify myself
I could even abandon myself
