How can I speak without a mouth

By Jonas Robinson

I was taken to a cage
By whom I do not know
I tried to find my telephone
Shadows lurking, shadows strange

I need to file an emergency
Though, in cuffs I had now energy

A man stood there, with proper grin
The man stood tall, the man stood thin
With aching veins shooting through his skin
"You loose, I win."

"You won't get away with this,"
I exclaimed to the bitter end.
"I have my smart phone somewhere here."

"It won't even matter," he said with a pause.
My teeth fell out. He laughed in sin.
He laughed with pride. He laughed again.
My tongue fell out. His eyes were nails.
"As you try to speak, you will only fail."

What a fate to ponder. Speech should always come with a price tag attached perhaps? Cheers my friend! - Dan

Positively oozing with visuals and creative doorways. The rhythm was a wonderful mixture of several different styles which i applaud you for getting your hands dirty and writing what you feel until it comfortably winds together. I look forward to more.
