Imprisoned

Locked away in the tower In this dreary dungeon You are trapped in Under the disguise of loving concern Diabolical tyranny is really the motive Of the one who torments you You have been there so long You no longer know how to escape Battered in this abyss It is hell But, it is all you know All you can decipher is darkness You only wish you could remember What the light looked like How it felt How it radiated off your smiling face But, then you forget how happiness felt You forget how it feels to be free You have forgotten how it feels to be yourself
