The World You Control

"It's like we talked about. You control this world. Let the pain go, let the hurt go, let the guilt go. What you're imagining right now, that world you control. That place can be as real as any pain."
-Dr. Vera Gorski, Sucker Punch.

Nellie by Lizz Matthews

Nellie: a poem by Lizz Matthews

Ugliness, blindness
Crimson against porcelain 
My eyes to meet yours
Gone mad
The bloodstains, the agony
The hatred.
Rechid little wench they say
Calypso, Calypso
Yours to mine
Love comes from the brain 
So does insanity 
Fear, fear!
Nervousness aching
Anxiety- boom
Hearts to break
Feet to the floor
Yellow tip of the nail
Strike through the very
Wall
Hang a picture
Earthquake
The picture does fall
Now,
Doesn't it?
