Hi everyone, this is my first poem posted here, so be gentle

The Darkness Binds

Inside my head they mumble
Mutter
Scream.
Inside my mind they struggle against the chains
That bind them.
Stronger than I am
Kept under control
Only by the strength of love.
But the darkness takes over
And down, down I drop
And dangle from the rope she tied round me.
Hand over hand
Over hand
Over hand
Chapped and raw and bleeding I climb
Striking the rocks
Slipping back down.
Far above me I hear a sound.
It’s you
You’re begging me to come back.
The pain I feel they cause you
Turns into brute strength
With an almighty lunge I dive upwards.
Grasp onto the edge
Hang there for a while
The dark men retreat just a step.
I dangle and pull and grimace and growl
And pull myself all the way out.
Then down comes a feather
Black from the sky
It takes just that…and I fall again.
