A Dark Poem

Short Poem

Inner self cries out for reasons
Feelings not be ignored
Don't leave me in distress
On my own and bereft

Shine a light into my world
An honest word would be good
If your heart would let you
If only you could

Stop testing me with games
Hurting me with words
Crushing me with chains
You should know better
Set the motions in place
Let go of me
And finally set me free
