Speculations of an Artistic Mind: Jane's Thoughts

September 13, 2013 ~ Regal

Trapped. Chained. Enslaved.

To feel like a prisoner, always controlled, always obeying. This is not what I want. I want to break free from this dungeon and be my own ruler. Maybe I have a slight problem with authority, and maybe this seems overdramatic, but it is how I feel.

I feel like a prisoner, but a prisoner of the worst kind. Not the convict who is locked away in a dingy cell, never to see the light of day again, but the spirited princess who everyday looks outside and is able to see the beyond the gates that lock her inside.

In ways, this is a crueler fate. The princess is always able to see how close what she really wants is while the prisoner can see nothing beyond the bars on his cell.

Maybe the real world is not what the princess thinks it is, and maybe the world beyond the castle gates is just as hard as the world within them. But no matter, the day when she is free does not come soon enough. She waits and waits as she endlessly obeys, even to her own dismay.

What gets her through this impossible torture is her hope that she will one day be her own master. She knows that she will face new challenges in that future, but nevertheless, she will face them with a determined spirit and a free heart.

This day will come for us all, but to get there, we must all go through this slave-like existence first. Battle this giant with a strong mind and a hopeful heart. For a heart and mind of this character will show you to the doors of places more spectacular than anything that you could ever comprehend.
