Behind this veil
My darkness hides.
Rather forget
When hatred/fear ruled
With an iron fist.
Nights filled
Tortured visions
Of another life
Haunting me.
An abused prisoner
Cowering
Inside a cell
Awaiting Fate.
Praying to Kali
Seeking release
From living nightmares
Permanently.
For inner freedom
So long denied
I've forgotten
What it feels like.
