Silent Torture
By Tara Nicole Walker

Silent torture within myself
Hands and feet bound
Mouth gagged
Rocking back and forth in agony
Hearts bleed
And Tears of rain touch my face
Deep within a black pit
Of utter annihilation
And complete pain
The whips of life
Lash at my body
White welts appear
Oozing the most scarlet of blood
My naked body drenched in sweat
My skin torn and my hair matted
There is no way possible
To explain
The utter torment
And complete anguish
I endure day in
And day out
No one can stop it but I
And even so I feel powerless
At this point in time
I long for the torture to stop
And the pain to go away
To give my soul relief
And my spirit rest
But nay
This is obviously my place
To endure
Silent torture
Within myself
