Twisted Tangled Thoughts

You lived in a tower all your life,

Not knowing you were trapped,

Unaware of the chains that were woven into your mind.

How they kept you shackled,

A stronger kind of bonds, you can’t break so easily.

Now you are free; free to roam the outside world, the kingdom, the palace, your very own room.

You reunited with your parents, who lost you, cried for you, for seventeen years.

Of course they would be overprotective, of course they wouldn’t yet understand,

You can’t go in the castle courtyard, you have to be in a guard’s sight at all times, it’s too dangerous for you out there.

And your kidnapper, your mother, is dead.

You must be so happy, everyone said.

The man who loves you died, but with a miracle had risen,

And you get to live in this perfect, pretty, palace…

This is your happily ever after, right?
