A poem I had written, which serves as the general theme for this story.
* * *
This trapped feeling is all I feel.
This oblivious aura is all I want.
The struggle to breath
The urge to escape
The need for personal paradise
The desire to live spontaneously
All too far beyond my reach.
I am but a puppet.
The thin, dangling strings have shred
The edges so that now
I am hanging on a fine line
Approaching the blissful hell below
Forsaking the dreadful heaven above
Tugged from all sides
Expected to exhibit my weakness
To wrap around their needs
Liberation is nothing but
A distant utopia;
A forbidden yearning
There is not much left than to
Go where the strings will take me
In submissive defeat.
