Elastic dreams hidden in boxed cages,
forcefully demoted to shunned silence
she plays ...
exquisite melodies heard through closed ears:
shining brightly in her individualism -
enhancing inner beauty
she breathes ...
rhythm of heartbeat her only companion

Beautiful write, Chantell. I liked the part of the individualism the best. I think it's very true that by being themselves, a person can show their true beauty. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

This was breath-takingly beautiful. Such an original take on the prompt and I really like how you express the thoughts of the rhythm of her heartbeat being her only companion, as she devotes her life, love to music in such soft and tender ways- with true desire.
Excellent take on the prompt! Thanks for entering & best of luck

If only everyone could see that individualism is a good thing and that it does enhance us.
