Communication/Poetry Hostage
By Karyn Indursky
The blanket that can never satisfy
my needs and wants of security, love, warmth, etc.
holds me hostage from you, the world, and my future.
I fight this dark tight suffocatingly tight blanket
of mine that swallows me whole.
I struggle to be strong, level headed, and all,
but the blanket covers me and doesn't let me
up and get out.
I'm dying in a world of suffocation and despair.
I want this blanket off and now.
I want to be me again and not this scary dark gloomy
person I've become lately.
I want to be free and not held in this blanket.
I'm tired of being the hostage.
