I want to escape
From this place
I'm stuck in
Wasn't my choice
Always this way
Have no emotions
Stripped of them
By this isolation
You kept me in
Not letting me go
Caged like an animal
Trapped inside
With no one
Only myself
And my keeper
That won't let me go
Shackled to you
At your mercy
I'm nothing without you
Or so you tell me
By Barbara Desmond
