No Escape!

No Escape!

A Poem by Bobby Madden
"

Ever feel trapped?

"
Ground, narrowed space, frozen, jagged, slippery wet ice, never defrosted, excruciating skin, muscles, bones, every attempt, all intent, to act, to move, to stand

Walls, in four, closed in, claustrophobic, electrified, employing single touch, detonate approaching carcass, inside out, driven, propelled, initiation, attacking succession from other walls, other electric assailants, aggressors

Limbs, bound, straightjacket and shackles, unbreakable restraint, lungs combusting from struggle, ground of heart flooding, desperation rain, acid of terror carried within

Mouth, gagged, taped, unable to cry, utter a sound, a noise, excessively accumulated screams inside, breathing corruption, hyperventilation, staggered implosion, massive eruption

Throat, strangled, flesh and larynx choked, inflamed, over-tightened, rusted chains of steel, pain implemented, oxygen constrained, salvation of strenuous resistance, forced against physical will

Eyes, stapled, sewn at lids, sight diminished, still enabled to witness, observe all-around reality horror, burning, stinging from tears, unwillingly bleeding from heart, cursed hemophilia

Mind, afflicted, poisoned, venomous substances, images, visions, existence only in most vast exasperation of nightmares, injected into mental veins, blackened and blurred, frightened and enlightened by muse of insanity

Cannot overcome deprivation of movement, of action, of power
Cannot escape paralysis

Cannot eliminate obstruction in function of organs, of passages for oxygen, the seductive air
Cannot escape suffocation

Cannot notice evidence, omen of hope, ascertain reason to believe
Cannot escape despair

Cannot gain freedom of confinement until torture mercifully takes life
Cannot escape imprisonment

Shivered in cold
Shocked in voltage
Shaken in panic
Stricken in torment
Sickened in fear
Starved for faith
Scared and scarred for life

Cannot get out…

Cannot break free…

Cannot die…

Can never… escape.
