Picture Prompt
She twists
She turns
Trying to escape
The thoughts
The words
The pictures
That cause
The trauma
The tears
The pain
Begin
When words
Reach her
Ears
Carry
Through to her
Tired
Struggling
Collapsing mind
Filtering the language
To hurt
To injure
To maim
To kill
To drown
Intended
To make sure
That once down
She stays down
Wallowing in her thoughts
Her mind
The complexity
That is her inner being
Crying
Screaming
Waiting to be heard
If only someone
Anyone
Would listen
Listen close
People
Are everywhere
Yelling
Wailing
Waiting
For someone
Anyone
To walk past
And listen
Listen close
Pick up
When someone
Needs help
When the mind
Becomes a
Minefield
And cannot
Function
As thoughts
Drag her down
And intend
To keep
Her hostage and
“safe”
