Mission To Manipulate

You manipulate It's your mission You play mind games Of control Oh...the control… You exert on my soul… To subjugate Your goal Asphyxiation Of my feelings Being strangled By your strong hands To instill fear Your desire Choking I gasp for breath Kicking and screaming My cries muffled By your sadistic Needs To dominate Your aim Still..... Glassy eyed Dead to self And yet alive Here I rise To do your bidding To capitulate My reasoning powers At your feet A willing slave Your Wish Unfeeling... Automaton Programmed to please To serve To satiate To obey Programmed By your megalomaniacal desire To Manipulate Your dream Mission to Manipulate: COMPLETED Eileen Manassian Ghali

Mental abuse ranks up there with physical abuse. Strength to you, my friend. Lovely poem well-written. I like :)

I do not see you being tamed in this way. You are a person of considerable will and desire. The poem however was entertaining and would apply to many others.

Unfortunately manipulation is very real...it comes in different forms...and though I tried to capture its essence....it is more morbid and sinister than this....Thanks for the post. I'm in a bit of pain...my chest hurts....oh well...Everyday I live is written in His book!
