I feel trapped, even cornered by their rumors.
They are not true, but still they go.
I want to touch one of them,to burn them
to rip them
to shred them, for all they are worth.
You think to hurt me with your hateful words.
You have no idea how much anger a soul can hold.
You have no clue how much anger I can throw out.
I feel not the pain of words, but the containment.
Well I take you down.
Down into the very place forbidden.
I don't ever take others to my heart.
The rusted steal chains contain it.
Trap it from ever hurting itself again.
It's like a beast, pacing, waiting, wanting to get out.
Still justified for my crimes I have yet to commit.
I am trapped in the dark with only my sins as my light.
I bleed my own hands to replinish your nasty soul.
I wonder what would happen if I fuel the rage.
Rage so terrible thst not a person could even put out the flame.
Your rumors of containment bring out the monster in me.
I can almost taste the blood on my tongue.
My demons waken inside my Hell.
I no longer wish to be contained.
Now your the one trapped here.
In my body, in my soul, in my heart.
Still your rumors spread.
No fear, I grip my head to cast you out.
Your containment spells control me.
I bow and I shout.
I do as everyone asks.
Like the good puppy I am.
Then I look into the eyes of the Demon.
I nod and open my soul to him.
There you need to be afriad.
My rage spills out into the world.
Everyone no longer controls me.
My demons develope those who try me.
I ingnore the useless pleas of those who used me.

This is the first of all the poems entered in this contest that is about true entrapment. You use containment throughout, using it in every few lines to stress your struggle. Very dark. The poem to me is telling a tale of life taking momentum, attempting to break free of the chains and shackles that hold it down (the rumours). The more momentum gained as the poem continues is sharp and wild, uncontrollable, fast enough to set you free of the containment thats is trying to hold you back. As we near the end, we can see that your finally breaking free. You are no longer human but have the help of all dark and evil on your side. Nothing and no one can stand in your way now. Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest babi xxx
