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

Delysia Hendricks Date: 3/22/2013 11:30:00 AM Mental abuse ranks up there with physical abuse. Strength to you, my friend. Lovely poem well-written. I like :) Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/22/2013 11:31:00 AM Thanks, Delysia! Kind of you as always! :)

Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/22/2013 11:07:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/22/2013 8:03:00 PM Sorry you are in pain. Eileen Manassian Date: 3/22/2013 11:15:00 AM 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! Eileen Manassian Date: 3/22/2013 11:10:00 AM Richard......
