She Binds and Gags Herself

she binds her own hands keeping her true self away from herself shuts her mouth tighter than a refrigerator door nothing oozes out, or hints to her feelings she is as closed as I am eager I want her to unbind her hands I want her to open her lips and speak her heart but it is not to be she keeps herself bound and gagged taking her heart hostage, not allowing it to breathe revealing nothing of her emotions closed and terrified, living a half life this is her choice no one can unbind her hands no one can live her truth or follow her heart if she is determined to remain bound
