The Prisoner
spirit adventurous
beauty in a conventional world
The jailer dangle the key of isolation
as her maverick desires
is tagged essentric.
bared, stripped off curiosity
she is a phantom
caught in scarlet embrace
a heart once clear as crystal
dims in the dawn of prejudice.
spineless soul
delicate innocence inure by cruelity
divergent, seeking to belong
lost in the maze of vitriol.
decorated by scars
of piercing harsh words
blooming a handicap mind
locked up, surrendering
that she's not good enough
retreating into submission's shell.
