All I Can Do Poem by Rebecca Pepper

I sit here and think, for its all I can do
Think about what I know and what is true
They know the words I wish to speak
But also know that I am far too weak
To search anymore for what others still seek

I sit and I wait for the darkness to fade
This darkness that my own mind has made
I know that only I can set myself free
But I still am too blind to see
And until then, bound, shall I eternally be

I can feel them there; I can feel the love they show
And it is almost too terrifying for me to know
But it seems that they savour my despair
And I know everyone else is too busy to care
About the pain both my soul and face wear

So I shall sit in my cell of handmade bone
And wait until my heart turns to silver stone
Because this is where you left me alone and cold
Fading to the black after being thrown from your hold
Because of you, to the devil I was sold
