Avery Ken Poet I do not know?

Flower Child Meets Life

 I was so happy
A free spirit
A flower child.

Then, you took me captive
Called me as your own
And forced me to drink from the well of your people.

You shoved the seeds down my throat
And I had no choice but to swallow.

I got addicted 
To this lonely place
And now, can never return.

I miss my family.
My friends.
My old life.

But I cannot leave this place
For I am bound by the bond
That I did not agree to.

You never want them to know
The hunger of Persephone
And how I starve for something
Other than pomegranates
