Untittled

Imprisoned in her own body,
She wants to have wings,
She wants to run.
Hiding in her shelter,
She´s been in darkness,
The light hurts her eyes,
She misses the sun.
She longs for air blowing her hair
She wishes to hear the sound of her footsteps on the pavement
But she´s coiled up, unable to move.
Gentle hands caress her,
Big hands pull her out, scratching her skin
Making her shed blood tears
She gasps for air,
Her lungs are not strong enough to get it
Her neck is marked, she´s been strangled
She´s been hung like a criminal…
She didn´t die
She cut the rope and fell.
How far the days filled with joy seem now.
Everything´s just echo in an empty room
Her hands are tied, her feet shackled
She´s forced to curl down under the weight of an eternal night without moon, with no stars
She´s tormented every second.
A restless existence, she can´t find peace in her sleep
She can´t see anymore
She wants to be free
She longs for the day in which her wings grow back
And she can soar in the sky
And never be captive again.

  1. WHOA! That "strangled" scene was intense. It's kind of crazy because I just for a second I imagined if she really was hung and lived. Then when she fell to the ground she would have been grateful she escaped death but miserable because with the freedom of the past she is still sad anyway so it's like what's the point?
    Anyway, she's headed to the future tied down, that's a sad thought but it happens everyday :(

    1. as always, thank for reading.

      exactly, that´s the core of this "what´s the point?"

      I'm very glad you understand what I write
