Tight laced body, mouth sewn shut.
Mind bound through life, everything confined in her head.
Raised to be perfect—His superficial princess.
Raging in her head “inane” thoughts scream.
She suppresses herself to please Him,
No understanding of consequences.
As she pushes them down they pass out of existence.
At last she sees the error of her ways.
The final domino collapses and the finally bindings fall away.
Bell tolling for the thoughts that perished in the dark.

Intense
I picture in my head a person in a relationship that she cannot get out of. She is trapped. To afraid to shout to exault her disdain even though she is in pain. Sadly too many people in this world are in this reality you depicted. Good imagery nice job
