they don't understand
this agonization
reaching between my limbs
my bones
my every part of me
crying does nothing
so i wait in silence
aloof with the world
seconds
minutes
hours drag by
i'm caught between two stakes
they hold me down
like i'm worthless
just something to fill their time with
but it hurts
it hurts
it hurts
it won't stop hurting
how my body is alive
is a secret
i have yet to discover
