My Souls Taken

My soul got taken away a few days back
I wrenched and moved
But, I was unable to withstand 
The force of life that pulls you away
That force left me in a sway 
The hideousness of the world 
The gird of the unwinding word
I twist in turmoil
I scream in Pain 
I do not know what is happening to me
I know not what to do 
All I know is something inside of me is lost forever too 
The fear I feel, 
The anger I vent
The utter despair perpetuates  
I can no longer hold on to life like I used to
I can no longer seem to hold it straight
I want to be strong but They keep pulling me Down 
I want to stand up but their thoughts weigh me down 
I want to live in peace
I want to go away 
To a far off place 
Where I may just lay down and stay…..

The feelings of pain we can have deep inside of us, can be so excruciating, and you worded that very well. Welcome to PoetrySoup
