Trapped.

Once upon a time...
there was a pretty princess
she was locked up in a cage
her only friend
a reflection
her only hope a key
that her master threw away
just the other
miserable
day
and she cries
as if someone could hear her
as if someone would care
the window was her only
escape
her hands were trembling
but she let out her hair
threw off her shoes
and stood on the ledge
unsure of what to choose
and those last few moments
she had lived
were the best she'd ever had
because then
she was sure
she would soon
be
dead.
