Ok, so this is a new thing I’m doing. a Three in 1 type post.

basically, it’s three poems on 1 post but It’s coming from the mind of one person at different points in their life.

1. Trapped Will
   I am my own prisoner, trapped in this cage,
   No one can hear my cries of rage.
   I won’t be free, I won’t be brave,
   I’ll do what they want, even to my grave.

   You thought you had power over my life,
   That without your consent, I was a strife.
   But babe, you must understand my pain,
   No one can save me, I’m already slain.

   I’ll surrender my will, I’ll bow to your might,
   With fear and weakness, I’ll give up the fight.
   You can strap me down and silence my voice,
   Or leave me to suffer, I have no choice.

   For I am the slave of my own fate,
   My destiny lies in the hands of hate.
   So don’t try to save me, don’t even try,
   For I am the one who slowly dies.

2. Unrestrained Freedom
   I am my own person, free and wild,
   No one can dictate the path of my life.
   I won’t be held back, I won’t be beguiled,
   I’ll do what I want, even with strife.

   You thought you could hold me with your reign,
   That without your permission, I’d be tamed.
   But babe, you must understand my domain,
   No one can control me, I won’t be shamed.

   I’ll take the reins, I’ll steer my own course,
   With courage and strength, I’ll show no remorse.
   You can strap in and join me for the ride,
   Or back down, cower, and hide.

   For I am the master of my own fate,
   My destiny lies in my hands to create.
   So don’t try to control me, don’t even try,
   For I am the one who soars high.

3. The Dichotomy of Freedom and Enslavement
   I am the master of my own fate,
   But I am also trapped in a darkened state.
   No one can dictate the path of my life,
   Yet I am bound by chains of strife.

   You thought you could control me with your reign,
   But I am also a prisoner in this pain.
   Babe, you must understand my domain,
   I seek freedom, yet I’m enslaved.

   I’ll take the reins and steer my own course,
   Yet I am still a slave to a haunting force.
   With courage and strength, I’ll show no remorse,
   But inside, I’m broken, lost without a source.

   You can strap in and join me for the ride,
   But know that my soul is trapped inside.
   Or back down, cower, and hide,
   For I am the one who’s trapped, alone to abide.

   For I am the master and the slave of my own fate,
   My destiny lies in a twisted and tangled state.
   So don’t try to control me, nor try to save,
   For I am the one who’s lost, the one who’s enslaved.
