-
Here I hang, suspended in air.
By the sharp barbed wire that holds me up.
Entangled in my body, embedded in my limbs.
My arms and legs spread out, and I begin to bleed.
Oh how I bleed, and I bleed because of their pull.
With each pull of their emotions, the coils bind.
Sharp razors sink deep into my skin.
Tear my flesh, and it tears because of their pull.
As their emotions flurry, the coils lash at me and tighten.
Pulled from on side, the emotions run wild.
With a sudden jerk from the other, another feeling rages.
Back and forth the coils pull, and I form a dark red abyss below.
I begin to scream, and I scream because of their pull.
But my screams are muffled, for I am not to say a word.
For if I do, surely these chains of mine.
Shall pull until I am no more.
So I hang here, with my mouth eternally sealed.
I bleed and bleed, and I bleed till I die.
And I die, because of their pull.

- Title: Barbed Wire
- Artist: Teh Homunculus
- Description: A poem about how two of my best friends who are siblings held secrets against each, from which I knew both of them. Yet I had to keep my mouth shut because it would end up hurting all of us. The sister just wanted to be a part of her brother's life and help him out, but at the same time he didn't want to do anything to do with because he think she's a horrible sister and a bad role model. It hurt me inside, so I wrote this in response.

- That really is a good poem. It made me think of secrets that were not to be told and it was eating away at someone inside. I guess I was right. Oh well... I give you a 5

- Wow, that's pretty deep...actually it made me consider my own sister, which is very difficult to get me to do, so...I like it.
