Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Epyllion

My soul's not your to keep

You mangled my life for 
games of chance creating 
madness within a carney 
realm feasting on my thoughts 
tampering with my mind crushing 
me chest ripping my heart out 
stomping on it raising your brow 
devouring soft edges leading to 
my soul attempting to block the 
entrance way to wholesome 
goodness reaching the height 
of my existence only to be 
balanced above it all falling 
into the trapeze nets crawling 
clawing reaching for my soul 
tattered and torn yet you couldn't 
reach it as i drift into a deeper sleep 
sorry satan my souls not yours to keep

Silpika Kalita April 22, 2024 at 6:24 PM It's difficult to compose dramatic monologue and when someone does, it becomes very authentic as each and every syllable comes directly from the touched soul! Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen April 23, 2024 at 10:58 AM Thank you so much have a blessed day.
