Today
if i curl up
tight
you might not notice me
if my eyes never meet yours
you may not blame me
for your mistakes
if i stay frozen here
my actions restricted
the bloom of your anger
may not rise
on my cheek
i am still
i am quiet
i am bound by fear.

ugh...there is def backstory to her feelings which you evoke quote well and leave me a bit of angry and sad...
ReplyDeleteQuite an original response to the prompt - well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the prompt!
ReplyDeleteSad to have to live life that way. This person in your piece has lost the meaning of her true worth.
ReplyDeleteSad because it is so true to life, for some.
Lovely writing.
This is excellent! I have felt like that myself.
ReplyDeleteIt almost reconciles me to the picture, which I now don't like much after all. A naked woman on a bed of something?
I am going to come back.
so you chose to be the women, and have her an object of abuse -- interesting...
ReplyDeleteYes rob well spotted , i am a woman but domestic violence isn't interesting at all..
ReplyDeleteShe does appear to be cowering...sad...
ReplyDeleteGreat write indeed!...
