In Captivity

Contributed by waynster on Friday, 28th September 2012 @ 03:18:57 PM in AEST
Topic: fictional

Through the crack
I can see a flame burning on a wick
In the distance
I can hear a clock tick

In this cool dark room
where I have no choice to lay
I can hear the sound of mice
and strange people pray

Not sure
what day it might be
Don’t know how long
I have been in captivity

Feeling so dirty
like a tiny rat in this room
As each day passes
my thoughts bring me more gloom

Oh lord
please spare my soul
Find a way to give me freedom
guiding someone to release me from this dirty hole

For what might seem like a day
very little food and water is brought to me
My body feels hunger
many things my mind starts to see

Blind folded
prodded and poked until they make me scream
My captors make me feel
like this is a really bad dream

Keeping my family in my mind
hoping someone will locate this place and set me free
Trying to maintain my strength
as time withers by, this is a hard task for me

Whoever is out there?
whatever religion you are
Please release me from captivity
as it will not bring you far

So here I am
clock ticking and what sounds like my captors trying to pray
Dear lord, why am I here
I can’t hear you say

I was only here
doing a job where I had no other choice
Now I will lie, in this dark cool room
waiting for a message from God or a friendly voice

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
