Body Possession Horror 

 

Contest by Michael Fulkerson 

BODY POSSESSION

    I have a body till I’m to survive
    to feel myself as a living person 
    to continue journey, so long I live.
    When to leave the body ! Me in tension.

     Depending on body, my life to lead :
     At any time I can meet my demise.
     Inevitable, no more to proceed.
     I don’t possess my body, great surprise.

     Inherited body from my parents.
     On the body I can have no control.
     Yet bound to care for Body, no complaints.
     Only wishful thinking : May I own Soul?

     To use in life, body given to live.
     Bare fact : From body  I’m destined to leave.

Anisha, Intriguingly mortal. Seems less ruthless in your poem's interpreted scope of possession. -Richard
