Like a child I feel cornered in the shadows past Like a loner of some broken land Viciously the ruler demands My precious token of life he smashes the bones He reigns He hardly stands, but he commands He calls my name in a horrific tongue He smothers me, his voice is piercing my ear Brutal voice of a controlling caterer, his food is full of junk Always and forever In a corner, or in a thought On a crucial judgment His voice and presence still exists His choices, my burden to live for His absence to die for
An excellent penning… I especially like:
“Brutal voice of a controlling caterer,
his food is full of junk”
Stunning!

❤ Omg, thank you so much!! Yes, for me HE is something like that too!! Like a second person into my thoughts, that originates from the past, and HE is fully judgemental…

Intriguing piece! I enjoyed your “he” and feel many have another person in their thoughts that is like a watchdog. Perhaps, a combination of those in our past and/or the present. It’s good to connect with you and thank you for following Eugi’s Causerie I.
