blind mans bluff.

Dark stuff

Living in a shell of the person I used to be
Fools trying to take everything from me
I recede, I digress, I shut down
Emotion gone, not a word. Not a sound.
I am in modus survive.
I will forget pain and return to thrive
I will remember me and myself again be
But you are blind unworthy to see me or
To enjoy the spoils I bring to be,
your tyranny must end my injury demands it.
There are forces I call upon as in this shell I sit
Enclosed armoured, I wait for your demise and wreck.
I call your bluff.
As the rope I let slackenes and tangles round your neck
I watch the noose your fingers try to prise.
Thus I receive my just prize.

This bought on a wave of emotion for me…I could feel my face turn red, my hands started to shake….. “Thus I receive my just prize.”
For me, my prize was independence from another’s control.
Thank you for this.

No thank you for reading and letting me know!

Yes I was suffering I am usually not so mean; more of a in ya face in a sticky out tongue way, but this one I am alittle ashamed to admit was a real emotional knee jerk reaction to being treated unfairly, and looked at through nasty lenses, Im more of a rosy pink my self. lol! I am really glad you got away from someone's control these kinds of people try to own not relate. Well done. heard some great stuff about your work and read some earlier I think I might just see what else you have :) cheers SS PS love the name Battlepink!!!
