Ink Will Set Me Free

They took me far, they locked the gate,
Declared my fate was sealed by fate.
A mark upon my skin, so bright,
Yet in the dark, it shone like light.

No chains can break the soul I bear,
No walls can steal the dreams I wear.
For even here, where hope seems small,
I stand unbowed—I stand tall.

This ink’s no curse, it sings, it soars,
A sign that freedom still is yours.
