Then Don'T Take Me

They are hoarding my soul, not making me better!

On these walls, I carve a letter. 

My vision is wispy. 

I hope their punishment will miss me. 

As I corner myself. 

I am tethered, this doesn’t help!

As they remind me that I have no possessions. 

My fear undergoes a resurrection. 

They act as if my mourning is a burden. 

Then they shouldn’t have abducted me and placed me behind a curtain!
