Captivity Poems - Poems about Captivity

Held as captives in a ship Chains binding us together Hunger, but we could not starve Tears but we could not cry. We were warriors of our land Children of the soil May the gods forbid that our ancestors would look us in shame. And so together, We ambushed our captors And sank the ship It was better to die Than be slaves...

Sitting by a fire on a winter night – longing to see daylight – shivering, freezing, in the icy cold – how long can my patience hold? “We’ll be all fine,” Father had assured – just days before his absence we endured.

Soul is in darkness in hopes to detain Heart is in reaction with a chest pain Nothing is plain and simple, words in vain Key is thrown away in hopes to maintain A grain of control, though there is no gain For the active pursuit is to restrain The only voice willing to speak again Not to create rain or a hurricane Words...
