2nd Place – Phoebe Castle –
‘Snares’
You diminished me
Made me live in your hand
Barely able to breathe
Barely daring
Your sweat cloaking me
Lingering fear
I was a girl when I buried you
But still you walk free
Your eyes penetrate my cage
Exploited like an animal
You stared into my enclosure
Hand fed me lies
Dance for me monkey, dance!
I did what you asked
Not out of fear
But out of innocence
Innocence that I wore like glasses
But you broke my glasses
You coward!
And made me blind
A blind child
Glasses that can never be replaced
Stuck
Blind to innocence
You might as well be a murderer
For you gave me this disease
The disease that has taken my life
You diminished me
Let me go from your hand
Not daring to breathe
But I was hoaxed by your snare
Always beguiled by your snare
Now my skin is stained red
Never a girl
Nor a woman
A girl falls in a cell
She dies in a cell
Are you satisfied?
