Glancing around,
        unable to scream,
burns singe these wrists,
        feeble attempts to flee.
Bondage intended to weaken,
        venom coursing the bloodstream.
Intoxicating is the delight of pain,
        artful tool to obstruct healing.

"Surely resentment destroys the fool
         and jealousy kills the simple." *
 my rationales for not living.
         Alienating connection and intimacy,
absconding from woe and acceptance,
         torturous grievances propel indignation,
poisoning any chance of true happiness.
         Only God can relieve this servitude.

*Job 5:2
