In That Corner

I made this corner for you to stand in

Prison I wrought

To speak brings torture

Words are war

Hit

A voice means you get cut

Don't you talk

Don't you move

Corner

Don't move

Stay in that corner

I made this box for you to soak in

Slump over folded

Shiver

Don't unfold

How dare you tremble?

Box trembles

Kick when I want

Stay folded

Stay in that box

Don't dare shiver

Don't you move

In that box

I dug this trench for you to drain in

A cheerless day

War

Don't hold on

How dare you hold on?

Dispute the blurry

Arms, legs flail

Yield

Slow river flow

Don't you move

A kick will fix it

Stay in that trench

In that box

In the corner
