Captivity By: Victoria Garcia-Talbott
Location
I looked in the mirror, and
the haze of a reflection is unclear
Barley I see that the thing staring back at me was a ghost
a distance memory, nothing but a hoax.
She was a fraud, someone who was not me;
I was genuine, real, and was desperate to be free from her captivity.
Haunted by her darkness that was always in the back of my mind,
and I, who was a lonely child, was blind.
Blinded by what I thought was care, friendship, and love.
How naive was I to fall in to her traps, innocent like a dove.
And similar to a dove I was shot down, lured injured into her dark, demonic gravity
I was senseless, fooled, and fell into her suppressed captivity.
Matured now I see how misguided I have been,
the realization of this mistake makes me blush with chagrin.
All the hate, all the pain that I have caused with her on my shoulder,
awakens me to a new world one where I can no longer hold her.
A world free from her, was a weight that was lifted,
and I thank God for the mightiness which he has gifted.
He gave me the power to obliterate all her sources of evil,
and to let me run from her threatening upheaval.
I do not like to remember her for she is forever long forgotten by me
I do not care, for I am no longer her slave, her puppet, and in her captivity.
Who was I blinded by what I thought was care, friendship, and love.
How gullible was I to fall in to her infernal traps, but now I am above.
No longer will I be stone, from looking into those devilish eyes
I am free from her slithering wrath, and I hope she dies.
I know her tricks, for now I am relinquished of her damnation, and of her demonic activity.
No longer is she free to roam in my mind, because It is my turn, my turn to be free, and I will be forever free from her captivity.
