Hi Lisa, I love the entire poem, but these parts stand out for me:

"I twist and try to run
but fall deeper
into its greedy pits
and sink into the belly
of its entrapment.

Its hands are cold
and thieving. Desiring
to possess the whole
of who I am as it craves
all I have ever been.

It scratches and claws
trying to pull me down
to where it can steal
my precious life.

I am almost smothering.
I struggle and resist
praying I can remember
how to turn the key
to set my soul free."

thanks so much Carin, I am so happy you enjoyed my poem
