In My Mind ~ Poetry

Help Me

Help me,
  I've been thinking
         too much.

I've been thinking
  too much,
    help me.

My head has
    entrapped me.
Well, not my head specifically.

Only what fills it.

The sociopathic, psychotic
snippets of voices tell me things.
                   Things
                                 no
   young teenager should
                have to
   bear witness to.
                    Things
         that nobody should
              have to realize
                      might
            actually happen.

No,
    that
  most certainly
    can happen. 

                          & yet
I've sat there,
   stood there,
having it tell me those
              things
that have been
        following me,
ever since my first
        incident,
that have caused me to
                     bleed out
                     starve
                     choke
                 be strangled
                 left mangled
                be shot down
                    tortured
immersed in
              Death's shadow.
