Firestorm

By: Nina van Reenen

Is this what the firestorm is all about...
this pain and torture and insecurity?
You are unreachable,
untouchable.
You bind me in chains
and throw away the key
and all I know is pain.

I cannot do this...

Unlock the chains,
let me let go- if you must
but not this,
not this...

You tamed me.
I am caged,
unable to move, to breathe, to speak;

nailed to my shadow...
