Defiance

Defiance Chained, detained like a primitive animal caged, enraged. Jabbed, stabbed with finely sharpened venomous barbs, scarred. Bled, fed nothing but hatred seasoned with dull puns, shunned. Blackened, beaten as ear-piercing cacophonous screams teem. Laughing, spitting blood; my spirit is lividly awoken, unbroken. Distressed, testing the restraints I vigorously fight, trite. Biting, clinching my jaw refusing to easily yield, repealed. Whipped, stripped of hope the demon I awoke, provoke. Unstable, ample the blain searing my wrist, resist. Dismay may bear its teeth but I will not stray away. Smile, while it wraps it claws around my throat, choke. Bounding, seeping my breath as I refuse to bend, rend. Gore poured will be avenged soon, relieving me of gloom's, loom.
