subjugation

compressed into tight tingles
escape impossible
boundaries high
sold into solitude
stay anchored to hope
change no direction

tigress locked in a cage
still a tigress
unchangeable attributes
life sucked away 
in solace

break free from bondage
fight snarl escape
don't turn back
look beyond the mirror
take no reflections
flee. now.
find yourself again.
