Caged.
A fear spread
throughout my never-ending mind.
Bound.
To this circular
glass crystal that keeps me
locked away from the world
stealing my freedom
killing my imagination.
Ensnared.
In this iron-clad grasp
of an inhuman void
trying my very sanity
tearing my soul to
its very last thread.
Fruitless.
Are my attempts
to break free
of my crystal chamber
to set my mind
free of this blinding light
and relentless darkness.
Craving.
The dreams of others
to carry me away
far away from this desolation
this killing glass
that reflects my faults.
Screaming.
For the savior
to take me away
wisk me away from my bind
breathe life to me
just once more.
Pleading.
With this mystical force
to free me from my hoard
unbind me merciful one
entrust thy love in
my all to welcoming heart.
Wondering.
When my angel will descend
upon my chamber
and take my burdens
unlock my heavy chains
and release me into the world again.
Waiting.
For my day of reckoning
hoping everyday that he will come
and set me free
knowing that day
is soon to come.
Revelation.
In that single hour
He shall arrive
and take me away
set free my restless soul
letting my wings spread wide
across endless seas.

This is my interpretation of this photo. I had so many thoughts and ideas but I think I got exactly what was needed out of this single strand of thought. I hope you enjoy!
