Her Purgatory

The title speaks for itself

Created by jordan2092 on Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Trapped inside her mind

Hell writhing inside her

Her eternal struggle

Her fight for sanity

The bars across the windows

The padded walls which soften the blows

Screaming and echoing from every corner and hall

While she’s terrified in a corner curled into a ball

The doors open

The orderlies come in

Grabbing her by her jacket

Shoving pills in her face

She fights and struggles

Sedated

The needle leaves her skin

The drug is now coursing through her veins

Silently she crumples to the floor

Her eyes are staring blankly ahead at the stained wall

In her mind she’s running

Running away from her nightmare

Her madness

She recalls the night she was committed

Shed written on her walls and cut her wrists

Her parents burst in and try to help but she resists

In her mind she’s done nothing wrong

She can’t figure out why she’s been here for so long

When can she leave is unknown

But since she’s been here her desire for death has grown

Alone and silent she sits in waiting

Every day the shrinks come in and are excavating

Searching for a hint a clue a sign of what it is thats plaguing her

She resists the mental prodding and closes up tighter than ever

While the shrinks continue their never ending endeavor

They find nothing and stop there pursuit

They send her back to her room no better than when she left

Lying in her bed she gazes out her window

She thinks “Why, why couldn’t they let me die”

Cold and trapped she begins to cry

She’s stuck her between heaven and hell

Her purgatory, her immortal jail
