Pulled and Pounded at every angle.
Take a breath, press forward, chains
Thick heavy iron
Rattle and drag at happiness
Every exhausting encounter – YANK
Every step forward followed by hundreds of steps backwards – YANK
Every choice to remove freedoms – YANK
All goodness ripped through the back.
Natural smiles fade – fake smiles replace
Grey consumes until nothing left
Numbing.
Numb.
