~WHIRLPOOL OF MADNESS~
By Zhee
(complex PTSD)
Crushed, the wretched mind
Blatant catharsis raves,
Buried memories exhumed
Defile their repressed graves.
[Embrace the caustic wounds
Bleeding fire within your eye,
Visions scratching out your soul
Till you can’t even cry…]
Scarred, the sensual perception
Mirages of terror ignites,
Hurtled in chasms of lunacy
Consummates crucifying rites.
[Wear the noose of anguish
Plundering hands decorously tie,
Bleeding on the sacrificial altar
That was made to watch you die…]

~bathing in acrid tears,
break the spell of desecration
holding you prisoner -
in this whirlpool of madness~
