In my mind, there is a cage. This cage is composed of 2" stainless steel bars. It is 3' long and 3' wide. It is a small cage. The door has a double locking mechanism. Around the cage is a stainless steel chain, woven in and out of the bars. The chain is secured by three locks. Within this cage sits a little girl. She has pale blond hair, put up in pigtails. She is wearing a white sundress and little white sandals. Her tiny knees have scrapes on them. She has eyes the color of a cloudless sky. Her face is dirty and tear stained. She is sitting with her knees up, hugging them. She is alone...tiny, scared, caged and alone.
There is another figure, dancing around, taunting the little girl. It is the figure of an adult. Her hair is darker blond, and she wears a mask. The mask is a constant smile. Her eyes are vacant blue disks. Her smile a fake showing of teeth. Her eyes tell the truth. This figure is a shell, emotionless and robbing the child of her freedom. She has condemned this child to live chained and hidden. She holds the keys to the cage and dances around in a never ending dance.
The little girl hangs her head and sobs. Will she ever find someone to free her from her cage? Will she be condemned to live as this caged soul for eternity?
Let her out.
