The Pain of a Slave
I am a slave
Come and save
What can’t move
What needs to be soothed
I choose to love
But when I do I get shoved
So I am now full of hatred
Just like all the other creations
And now the only thing I do
Is pretend that my life will magically change
Like I will suddenly find the missing glue
Like I could escape this horrific cage

This poem is about being feeling hopeless and trying to find something to make life worthwhile. The doubts, indecision, helplessness filling you when there is no escape.
