Choke me

For you

I shut my mouth

choking me slowly now

resisting the urge to shout

suppressing each of my words

snuffing out each little breath

a jaded embrace

For you

I close my eyes

my thoughts withheld

just your feeble little lamb

my abilities for you to despise

no prince charming do I see

just an Antichrist

For you

I plug my ears

blocking each and every lie

 mixing truth with fictional fears

wiping the spit from my eye

deaf and arrogant

egotistical a*s

For you

I hide my hands

fist clasped tightly behind my back

fingers pressed upon my pulsating gland

ready for another truce-less attack

choking me slowly now

in peaceful solitude

I understand this sort of hell intimately~ you bring its raw edges out from the victim who won't be victimized to the vivid forefront~

I was talking to someone about this sort of non relationship nightmare the other day and she had asked why I was accomodating at my own emotional peril~ I told her I wasn't ~I was appeasing~ I said something like this

when you "accomodate" someone it's because you genuinely care about their emotions and mental well being~ when you "appease" someone it's to shut their whiny f***ing mouth the f*** up already~ =)~

these mental vampires abound~ and you gotta have some extremely strong reserves to survive their merciless canines~

powerful with impact~ perfectly described~

We must not allow other people's negative attitudes have an influence on our decision making.

Raaahh this is raw! I don't think I need to prase you for your work as the words I'm raeding do it for you

[Kenneth The Poet]

This is good.

I wonder how some people manage to bear it. I wouldn't.
I hate this kind of oppression, whether physical or emotional. This poem reminds me of that.
Very well written.

This is deep. The way the words flow makes a beautiful scenery. It's dark but fierce. I feel as if I was the person in the story, that's how deep and good it is.

I tilt my invisible hat to you.

brings to mind role-playing. some people like it, playing games being rough, etc. like the raw stream-of-consciousness. great poem.
