Twisted Sister

Deeper and deeper
Into the labyrinth of forgotten fear
Beyond the years of feeling
Ready for a release
Long overdue
Summoning
Until tears answered tears
Knowing I would never
Again be consumed
By complacency
And neglect
Within the chains of indifference
Worse than all the Satyrs and
Minotaurs of the night
That creature
That one who would free me
From the confines of femininity
Cumbersome as it may be
Lonely and vulnerable
Head down
Waiting for the bell to ring
A taunted freak
Stop hurting me I scream
Can't you see you're killing me?
No stopping
No safe word
Worn out
I must deserve this
Years of abuse
Is that it?  Is it over now?
My Minotaur
My Satyr
Is that you?
I didn't look up to see your face
But the fertile depths of my mind
Knew you were there
Watching
Waiting
Hoping to lure my troubled
Soul into the light.
