I sit in the darkness,
Waiting to be found,
To be taken out,
And return to the angels above.
I dream of delusions,
Thinking that I might escape this broken place.
I pray in silence,
That I may be saved,
But I know that my hopes will never be true.
Then the door opens,
And I am gripped by the hair,
As I plunge into the darkness of hell.
Blistering toxins are poured on my skin,
As my screams pierce the night.
Chemicals are poured into my eyes,
And needles pierce my skin.
Then I am left alone,
Waiting to for the changes to take shape,
Waiting for my body to burn itself inside out,
Screaming in anguish for salvation.
Author notes
Dear Christina(?)
So I wrote this origionally after a visit to the Holocaust Museum w/ my family, after the queasy feeling in my stomach left me, I felt like more people deserved to know about the holocaust, its victims, and the horrors and trials that people faced. I found out that twins (both identical and fraternal) had tests on them to see how it would affect each of them. This really apalled me, since I am a twin, and I just had the imagery (that I tried to express in the poem) come to mind. so yeah, that's pretty much it...
_________
This poem is about the testing they did to people during the holocaust. They would perform tests on the Jews to see if they could change their body shape, eye color, and etc. May those poor souls rest in peace.

haunting.
This piece was spectacular. I loved how descriptive you were and how you wrote about the holocaust... that, of course, is a great deal more heart-wrenching than a lot of songs about depression. It was beautifully done. Thank you for entering, and best of talent in the contest! -
