Snatched me up
From a bored volcano
Washed me down
Scrubbed my soul-hole
Of sincere shame,
Rejection and dejection
Knelt down to pray
Before me and the Almighty
Swirling down
Dirt spins in slo-mo
Went down the drain
Echoing choking gasps
Wrapped me warmly
With your eerie love
Filled me up!
As if you don't know
You've won again
Stitched my open heart
Smash a cup
On the floor behind me
Give me a breakdown
Cup of mo-jo
Hot seering pain
My selfish violations
Smelling so tidy
Like a lonesome clown
I give in
Time is so slow -
Ignoring blame,
I linger in consolation

Poetry: Give in
by Anita Carter
Give In
Do I give into you
and take your words
to heart
And allow my heart
to break each time
I talk to you
Or do I keep quiet
I dig my fingertips
into your skin,
like warm clay,
and pale.
You melt around me
while inside me.
My body heat
climbs.
My eyes roll
Snatched me up
From a bored volcano
Washed me down
Scrubbed my soul-hole
Of sincere shame,
Rejection and dejection
Knelt down
by Brianna Dill
I rise higher into the screaming air
Yet, I sink lower
Drowning in a pool of despair
Hatred wells up from my innermost being
Praying To See The Light
In the hours I'm at my weakest, darkness falls upon me.
without the light, I fear what I can't see.
