Beautifully Prisoned Self

Beautifully Prisoned Self

A Story by wesleygirl
"

'She had unleashed the courage to live the life she deserved.'

"

 

As she looked around the cold, wet courtyard, she saw the destruction the demon had caused. She lay down on the damp, cemented ground and began to weep. She wept for her freedom, she wept at the destruction the demon had caused and she wept for the life she could have had if she had been strong enough to leave.

 

The demon she had so strongly kept at bay and who she thought loved her, refused to be controlled and managed to destroy all that was good in her life. She was tired of fighting, she was tired of failing and she was tired of being the only one to try to get through to the demon. She wanted to give up, let the demon take her but she couldn't. She could not let it win. With the small bit of determination that was still in her, she quickly pulled herself together, wiped away any dangling tears that were about to fall, stood up, and began her quest to vanish the demon that had taken her freedom away. 

 

She turned to the entrance of its cave and summoned it to come out. When it emerged, the demon had already returned to its regular form. Its face looked like hers, its eyes were filled with the endearing love of a parent, and its arms were open to greet its beloved child. However, at this final meeting, she would not be fooled. She understood what it was capable of but this time she would not let it trick her.  She looked directly at her demon’s eyes and forcefully said....

 

'I'm done'.

 

And with that her prison door came unlocked. She was no longer held captive by her possessor. She ran from her holding cell and shouted with elation as she praised the heavens. She had never felt so alive in her short lifetime.

 

She had unleashed the courage to live the life she deserved.

This is a very deep story, very...imaginative. There's an underlying secret to this story, and it honestly left me thinking for a long time what it could have been.

I actually managed to put myself in the eyes of this girl. What she was feeling really hit me like a rock through a spiders web, that was incredible!

You are a very creative writer, i'm certainly keeping tabs for any more of your work!

Thank you for sharing this amazing work of art, you truly are talented!

I'll be waiting to read more from you :)

Hard to defeat the demons. I like the use of thoughts and prison to create hope and possibility. A perfect ending to the excellent poetry.

Yes, I do understand your metaphors. She triumphed over what ever deamon possessed her. I like the fact that she did it alone.

You transport us into the soul... the fight faced with the demons that seek to devour us... and you give us hope that there can be freedom when we face our fears... when we rise above... Freedom.. your words lift us all!
