I don't know how long I've been here
My clothes have reduced to shreds
You are all I have left
My little furry friend
Once upon a time, I was scared of mouses
Run screaming up the stairs
When there was one in the houses
Furry little mouses
Running running run away
Come again on a rainy day
Play play play with me
Rock-a-bye baby
See I remember, stories they used to tell
Before I could talk, before I could walk
Before I scared them away
Shouldn't have said the things in my head
But the screaming wouldn't stop
Never stops now but I know it's real
I scream enough to know
They make me
Think they can do anything
Know what they're about
Trying to make the screaming stop
Make me scream it out
They come, they cum
To see my everyday
Shiny things, sharp and bloody
Used to manipulate my brain and body
Tie me down to make me better
I'm more sane then they
Sticking needles in my head
Asking what I see
Makes no sense to me
But I'm no doctor
Just a crazy girl
Locked out, locked up, locked away
Crazy, crazy, dead
Will be some day
You might outlive me
Little mousy
Or help me run away
I could shrink down
Tiny little flee
Could ride your back and run away
Help me little mousy
Get me out and we'll be free
I'll feed you bread and cheese
Come away with me
I hear foot steps
They are coming for me
Hurry hurry little friend
Let me climb on your back
We must away there is no time
Why have you run away?
Keeping safe in your hole in the wall
Is there room for me?
Door opens so bright
Gets me every time
Can't see their hands reach out
Until they have grabbed me
Tie me down, they always do
Time to make me scream
Keep safe my friend then come for me
Tomorrow we'll get away
I say tomorrow everyday
And mean it everytime
Then I hear the door and feel the hands
And wish that I might die
But I live, again it seems
Another moon to rise
And comes my friend, little mousy
To comfort my soft cries
He always comes or is it she? Doesn't matter I suppose
My mousey friend will help me out
Run away from home, I know this and it is so
Come my friend, it's time to go.

It's interesting how you rhyme some stanzas and don't rhyme others. I think that gives it a more balanced feel. If you had tried to rhyme every one, it would have come out as forced and contrived.
Very strong images and impact. I almost feel as if I'm being transported back to an 1800s-issue insane asylum, where they actually did shit like this. Good job!

Biting. Brutal. Bitter!
"I'll fed you bread and cheese"
I think You mean "feed"
Hello Grand-daughter Rowe!
I consider this more than a response to a prompt for a Poetry contest; it is a cry for Help, a Child's cry to be heard from the depths of Her soul.
You've used some cleverness and savvy in this write, also.
I Am glad I wandered along and got snapped up by the Mouse trap.
Wishing You the Best dear Soul!
stay
for ever

This was GREAT...Loved every last line
I love how you took the prompt, and gave it that "human" touch....
Thanks for entering and Good Luck in the Contest! -
Oh wow.....you were right, the picture around the edge is just adorable and I really enjoyed reading this. It tells a story that I would never have even thought of from the pic, but you did brilliantly with it. Keep up the great writing!!
