Appease

The pressure got to me

it hit me until I was on my knees

bowing down to appease.

I became enslaved.

Whipped until I bled.

Starved until I could no longer move.

The pressure set into my bones

like stink of a skunk.

Only no tomato juice will set this out.

Age done not ' in but cage.

It enlarged the fury.

Appease thy world

appease thy parent

appease thy elders

appease all but thy self.

The pressure crumples me

the presence of an old lady

I'm no longer my self.

Broken and tired

of being what they want

appease all but myself.

I think not.
