Startled



Startled
In the dark I fight for air
puzzled
at my sight I gaze with fear

numbed
with my mind 
slumped
to their kind

quiver 
in my being
shiver 
what I have been

wrestled
from him
strangled I slim

am petrified
I wait
stupefied
on me he weight

he thrust his hand dip
in my bag
I slip
I drag

At me he pounce
and bands
In silence it sounds
for non can hear at me pangs

In pain I distress 
myself comfort
I digress
I fought

he beat
the end 
his feet 
he tend

I wake my mind 
from the chains
that binds
in pains

I forward 
to flee 
to board 
a fleet

am free
to laughter
my knee to plea
to God on altar offer
