A pantoum I wrote in like 10th grade. Maybe 9th. So like MMII-MMIII

~

Caged animal with no way out
I feel a sin comin on.
Tethered and tied by my own emotion
The sin sets me free.

I feel a sin comin on.
Rivulet red, scars and burns
the sin sets me free.
Everyday, another scar.

Rivulet red, scars and burns,
reminders of the agony.
Everyday, another scar,
just can't let them see.

Reminders of the agony,
I cannot break out,
just can't let them see
trapped. withered. broken

I cannot break out
in blood-choked agony
trapped. withered. broken
freedom I've barely felt.

In blood-choked agony
I feel a sin comin on.
trapped. withered. broken
Caged animal with no way out
