Slow death
February 12, 2010
The ropes keep tightening.
My freedom,
my life as an American,
is slowly dying,
dying so slowly.
You keep pulling,
you just keep pulling on the ropes.
And I feel like I’m dying,
dying a very painful,
very slow death.
I now feel the ropes
there tightening again.
I can’t breath anymore
My confinement is worse.
I will die,
That is for certain.
As I suffocate,
I wonder why you did this.
Was it because you were scared,
or do you just not trust me?
Either way it doesn’t matter,
because I’m still dying.
I’m dying a slow death.
