My veins must breathe for life to flow
but something got interrupted.
Locked away, lost in my man-made god,
An illusion of perfect love.
A soul struggled through misbelief
While scintillating sparks tumbled down Desire Nile
Over rocks and debris.
The water found a lost identity,
Uniqueness that battled to be permitted.
I could hardly breathe held so tightly.
Seen but yet unseen by a million eyes
Mine became their same captivity yet I would not speak.
World of entangling stupor and pain.
I think I might be sinking.
You bark and then backed me,
That torturous taunt
Again and again assails me
Surely, I could say “no more”?
But frail nerves have disarmed me.
I was bleeding and all they did was stare.
