i have no eyes but i have to see
my tongue is tied
my mouth is sewn shut
my arms in a straitjacket
my eyes gouged out yet, still wanting to blink
to see / i want to see / i have to see / i need to fucking see
with all the blood and flesh of my own mangled around me
i broke my arms out
my bones protruding and bleeding black hot blood
i pierced my mouth open,
my black blood, teeth and flesh flushed out
i do not speak yet, i scream
my tongue moves out of its binds
piercing me inside out
and i scream and howl in pain
it hurts
it hurts
it hurts so much....
but i leaped across the room to the mirror
that damned, rugged, ugly and atrocious mirror
and i saw a person whom i do not recognize
the person smiled with malice
full of hatred, evil and disdain
her eyes leaked venom
her mouth opens and hot black blood flows out of her mouth
she then whispered,
"my turn."
i look on helplessly as she destroyed whom and what i love
i begged and begged an begged
"please, stop it"
she smiled that rotten, filthy and malevolent smile
i banged my hands on the mirror
again
and again..
shards stuck on me-
on my face, my body, my limbs and my heart
she didnt want to go
she wants to stay
and at the end...perhaps i will let her
and that will be the day i slit my throar
and bleed red blood
as i choke to death
and then, that woman will linger on my loved one's minds and memories
forgetting me, falling into oblivion
and all that i am
all that i was
what i wanted to be - becomes forgotten and gone
perhaps, it's fine
perhaps, i'm alright
perhaps, on to the next life
i will be reborn as me
just me and me alone
without the darkness, hatred and emptiness
just me, me and me alone

Writing your way to sanity. Words are powerful. Prayer is powerful. A journey of pain. A journey of growth. The girl who writes, wins. Your poetry is raw and honest. Sending love and prayers.
