Thanatos--Mercy

Ever thought what it would feel

Not to lie down on that dowdy bed

Wishing when you could

Take a breath of fresh air

Catch the morning rays

Flashing at your windowpane

And smile

Saying I am alive.

As humans, we play Thanatos.

Is it fair

Or is it sublime

Other people do it

Hence, we follow

An impersonator in our duties

Is it worth that we do so much

Or is it worth we do little

And let it be.

Lying tranquil on a bed

Comfortable as it may look

Hard, making it harder

To lie still

Writhing in pain

From inside

No one notices

All I can hear are whispers saying

“She is fine”.

Numb is all I know

No other word

Can match. Numb

Screaming is all I want to do

But my mouth open

And my throat hurting

The slightest sounds

Coming out of me

No on hears.

Trying to move my arms

But its is bound to

Cold steel railings

Touching my body

My wrists sore

Untie me

My body screams

I scream

I scream

Can anyone hear me

Can anyone see me

Can anyone hold me

I shout and shout

From within

But no one cares

They smile at me

Walk past me

But no one cares

I ask again

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Can you hold me

Let me be

Oh Please,

Let me be.
