by Morgan Beck
the mind and soul
twists and contorts,
into shapes not even god
could newly dictate.
such an abomination,
the choked wheeze beckons
for salvation and pleas turned
demands are unheard.
tight-lipped with
the throat clasped tight,
you are a blight
with a plight.
appears the knight whose plated
armor casts beams of
light upon hidden savagery,
smites presented atrocities by
your inferior edict.
so selfish for wanting
to be set free.
