Poetry / victim

here it is again
more scars to show
the victim that i am
the victim i always
may very well be

here i am held captive
to the demons hiding within
twenty six years fighting to be released
twenty six years of submission

concealed inside the dark caverns
of my psyche
must those demons
fully expose themselves
in order for the light to conquer them?

fight with sword of fire
deep into the belly
of my capters

preferences of flight
tell me to hide
to cower
in the cave

i must succeed
in my dominance
to gain control
and to always live with the reminders
of the discolored damaged flesh
and the ink that marks the beauty
i can see

I really liked this piece. I’m not sure if it had to do with self injury or not (I am a self injurer so… it’s very likely for me to assume that) but that’s what it made me think of.
I really liked the part about having the demons come to light. It’s not fun, but I really think that you do have to drag up some of those demons from your past so you can conquer them.
