Today’s random twitter poem had a foreboding dark theme and told a story of a captive who finally breaks against his or her assailant.  Deliberately leaving the person and attacker ambiguous this could be a woman, man and the attacker could be human or non-human depending on whatever scenario your mind crafts from this poem.  Thanks to the following twitter followers for providing the 10 random words today (in blue):

@reginasuniverse (defiance), @wkossen (Wacko), @SurfCityJay (resume), @coyotesqrl (deviant), @jamiain (pickled), @uzziemom (sad), @Jan_Geronimo (thighs), @VOTS_Roads (spring), @BlazingMinds (inbox), @wizzardsblog (miniscule)

Prisoner

The unfathomable sad and simple truth
Held in containment like a pickled egg
Against your will shackled to a bed
Torture only to resume time and time again
By a twisted deviant wacko with a sadistic game
Scars marking your thighs like vicious trophies

Rising in defiance for the last time
You spring into action against this monster
Elbow striking your assailants throat
Knee finding a home in its belly
Your onslaught unrelenting your intent is clear
Kill or be forced to endure this endless cycle

Striking your fists more times than spam in an email inbox
Miniscule droplets of blood splattering the wall and floor
Your attackers face an unrecognizable pulp in moments
Your fingers wrap around its throat in one final gesture
A lifeless struggle and your heart lifts
Keys found and chains drop to the ground

You have fought and become free
