OctPoWriMo 2018: Day 12: Affliction


Why did you have to afflict yourself on me?
Why did you invade my dreams and haunt my days?
Excruciating need, I could not get free

Like a psychotic demon child who plays
Bringing torment to his victim's mind and soul
Agonizing want for one who never stays

Heart afflicted with the pain you live to dole
Is there no-one to appease, to bring me aid?
Where do I find comfort and regain control?

Someone heal, soothe, and relieve me, I have prayed
Free me from a man who just wants to get laid

~Pepper~

Note:
This piece is created in the voice of Team Netherworld's OC, Pepper Baiij, for our WIP, Fetch. The poem "honors" one Kris Rooiakker, a living person who took advantage astrally of the sensitive and troubled medium for many years before she finally found the strength to break free.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
