A peek inside

A Peek Inside

I am wrapped in a silken net

Caught in a single moment

Just between fear and pain.

Unsure if I can free myself

I resist the urge to twist

The urge to scream

The urge to cry.

I tell myself to stay calm

Wait for it to pass

Trust what I know

But I don't know anything

in this moment

Only that I am not free.

There's a fear that comes over a person

Born of loss of control

The greatest fear of all

Composed of black night

Amplified sound

And lack of sight

You can smell this fear

Taste it, touch it,

Bow to it.

I know fear,

And fear pain

Yet desire pain

Because it is all that I can feel.

Wrapped in my net

I remain

Tasting the fear

Demanding the pain.
