My prison

imprisoned in her self

she could hardly breathe

her sufferings long and painful

made her bitter and incomplete

she longed to laugh heartily

and be her playful self again

to feel the air and sunshine 

and dance in the rain

she wanted to walk carefree

on the soft sandy beach

where was her lost self ?

she could not recall

where did it go wrong

why did she cry

if only she knew the answers

if only she would try

her freedom was within her 

somewhere
