Programmed Robot

by Baby Rainbow   Aug 6, 2012


He no longer tells me what to say
yet I still await his commands.
His hand no longer covers my mouth
yet still I'm afraid to speak.

No longer am I in his cage
so why don't I feel free?
No longer does he own my life
so why doesn't it feel like mine?

I no longer have to play those games
though they replay in my head.
No more must I stare in his face
but his eyes I can never forget.

No longer am I in his life
yet he will always be in mine.
He no longer tells me what to say
so how do i know the right words?

His hand no longer covers my mouth
but I know better than to speak.
He trained me too well before he left
there was no need for him to stay.

    This shows how much power he holds over you...you still fear him no matter if he is still there or not. It's one of the qualities that an abuser has... no matter if they are gone, they will still make sure you are scared... they thrive off of that. I hope you have been able to move on from that since I know this is an older poem of yours.

    The title is nice, it fits perfectly. Programmed to still go by his commands when he no longer has control over you... yet he still does in a way, in your mind.
