Saved

By Stephanie Sideways

Scraped 
the inside surface of my rib cage

Hell
Was never turning to the next page

Stagnant
Murdering surface of the pond weed

Sealed
Entombed and stifled by the wrong need

Scared
Was how malignancy had grown strong

Faced
Was how to kick it into head long 
 
Healed 
The mind that breaks out of its prison

Saved
The ledge that sanity had given
