What I held closest, the little I could hold and wear, all and taken away.
I ache perpetually as my mind is pulled from the darkness I briefly kissed.
The sensation of bliss being pierced into a searing beam of light, a prisoner’s light.
I felt my mouth scream in anguish while my hands and feet met similar cries... my ears bellowed terror.
I could feel the caked in stains of burnt blood.
I could taste the staked in metal.
I shriveled at the abraisive clenching in my jaw, it cried.

All I could process what I was in pain, everything hurt.
My chest and ears burned hotter than flames.
My fingers... my toes... my teeth and mouth, trembled in the twisting scapel of severing reality.
Why would they do this?
Why did they take all I had to defend myself?
I felt the weightless shift that was my head.
All I had from my birth, from my home... all and taken away.

I lay in blood stained grass, in a cage in a shed, on my stomach, helpless.
This is what it was to be my kind in these lands.
Livestock at the highest.
I was no longer considered anything past a statistic.
I guess Zaltec got his wish, I was his prey.
There was nothing I could do anymore.
I right to choice all and taken away.

Leather and metal surrounded me in both tight bind and compressive confinement.
I knew where I was... I knew what actions got me here... self defense is now a way to die.
What trace of integrity I had, what value I thought I could have had, all and taken away.

I should have listened to her...
Even she and her... all and taken away.
