-Reflections From Captivity

I'm captured in the beatings
of my God forsaken heart.
He's clipped my wings
for the very last time,
and now,
I can never fly.
After all these years,
it finally shows
that my only antagonist
was myself and my past.
What powerful foes to have.
The memories ravage my mind
like a tiny ship
on a hurricane swollen sea.
A little child who learned
what the world was really like
and grew up
living in fear.
Even in this cage,
locked up in darkness
and oblivious to the world,
I'll never miss
my captor's touch,
trailing across my body.
In reality and dreams,
his voice remains silent.
