The Room Poem by Jessica Elizondo

She sits on her bed in that cold dark room. the walls are painted with

regret and tears. they spell out her pain everytime she looks at them.

the cuts on her arms are proof that she has tried and failed. The blood

washes away when ice-like tears come crashing down. Her mind is

filled with agony and pain. She has mental dispise for herself because

she thinks shes faling. The floor is cold and stained with drops of blood

along with hate. she sits just staring at the cold empty room, theres a

chill in the air....shes not alone. She yells, 'What do you want! ? Go

away! Haven't you already done enough! ? , ' still more tears come and

hit the ground like bullets, 'Go away! ' she stands up but is knocked

back down. She screams, 'Let me go! ' out from the shadows comes

an ery voice the would send chills down your spine. 'Never my dear,

you are mine for the keeping.', she stands up as her heart bleeds from

pain, ' For your keeping? I came to you, and I can walk away! the walls

shake and the floor moves and knocks her down as if she were to

kneel. 'Your are going no where! ', ...........I don't think so! I have the

Lord as my savior now! now I will no longer have to suffer! You used

me and made me suffer to the almost point of death, you were killing

me! ! ! ! And you no longer have any power over me! ' She runs toward

the door, but feels a strong force pushing and pulling her back. She

calls out 'Lord release me from my demons and this hellish devil! ' she

is free and opens the door! she calapses into loving arms, and hears a

booming voice say, 'You did it my daughter. Now you can finally dry

your eyes, I am here, you are safe now. She looks back at the sun lit

room. the walls are clean and all mistakes have been forgivin, She

dries her tear stained face and looks down at her arms, the scars from

her arms and the blood have been washed away. And the thoughts of

all of the horible things in her past have been removed and it is then

that she realized that she is free and saved from what she was. She

smiles and says thank you Lord.
