Schism of Innocence (White Horse of Conquest)

Horror.

Faded in
Drowned out,
Dead witnesses
Is the problem.

Fingers tied up
Locked in a trunk.
My wrist is blue
Body used for sin.

No room to breathe,
I'm kidnapped,
I feel trapped,
Please take me home.

I'm done,
Tripping on your drugs.
Waiting for the day
You cut me up.

And sell my guts,
To the rich and
The wealthy.
Praying on my knees,
For this faux God to help me.

Instead,
Found answers in a piece glass.
Last chance,
Gonna' slit up my wrist
To escape this fate.

Cut me.
You love to.
Shot between my eyes,
I fell too.

Eyes widening,
Skin feeling cold.
My tender flesh
Splats on the walls,
Behind me.

Turn the camera off
Once the lights are on,
To cut me up and bag me.

In Jesus name,
I died today
From a man who
Worships blindly.

He use his faith
To trap the blind,
To commit acts
Ungodly.

A perfect synopsis of a disease that is roaring, at least in America, of teenagers finding relief (penace perhaps) in the act of cutting. Some control issue, something they can control, in a life that is spinning out of it. I would like to see one following this piece of healing.

[Lost & Lonely]

As someone who has felt trapped and wanted an escape or someway to feel in control, I love the connection you make here to that.

Another dark poem telling about a different kind of death. Truly, humans are terrifying. One cannot easily fathom the human heart, especially if it is veiled in darkness. Killing and another person falling as the unwilling victim.

Thank you for sharing this poem. So dark! :)

What is "horror" to some is merely life to others... it's "horror" only while you still have hope.

A wild journey in your words. When we test life. Most times, we do lose. I like the honest tone leading to the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
