Synonym of Developmental Slavery

Synonym of Developmental Slavery 

there once was a bashfully bashful shy and mistreated, abused girl
who new only about her own back yard
and in that backwards back yard she did not grow  the proper intellect

now in a enforced slavery of the mind
she be not (wasn't) aware 
for bondage new it's captive seemingly from birth  
planting many unaware involuntary subjection's to provide for others 

servitude now embedded in the small outpaces of one's mind  
unwilling to be enslaved to the cruelty of it all 
i do fight back as if by swinging at the air 
with complete brainless misses    
by emphasizing my complete right to suffer and contractually perish
to be a moth to flame
flickering my last dire moments in a vivid, and intense violent dance
wings are set to a fiery luminosity 
ending has no wisdom of glory
now bondage holds no captivity over me  
burden was a cruel inescapable master

Wow, Verlecia, that is a powerful piece and I admire your spirit and your desire to fight back no matter what; in the end I imagined you like a phoenix being reborn:) Amitiés
