shattered glass
from broken mirrors
line the tiled floors
shards of crystal
gleam blood red
ghostly echo's taunt
bound in shadows
cloaked in darkness
chained within the past
self induce confinement

Prompt : "It's about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer." Tori Amos
