Woman In Gilded Cage

Better safe than sorry, some claim it to be.
This gilded cage that can deceive.

Safe the woman held within, whom may never
spread her wings or sail in the wind.

The safety of this gilded cage hinders, 
those scared or forced to stay.

A potential so great may never be known.
A life surrendered, for safety is unknown.
