She's bound up tight,
She's just not gagged;
And she says that will do.
They let her think she's got a life,
And she believes it too.

Sounds like life tied in one's own bed sheets. A short but vivid glimpse of life on the hard side.
Sounds like the definition of being locked in the cupboard.
Freedom is when you get to 18, till then I own you.
Hahaha.
My friend, what a sharp and unsettling piece! Being allowed a voice means little when every other freedom has already been taken away…and the cruelest part is being taught to call that a life. Powerful work, Missy! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you!
That's tragic. When you convince someone that humiliation is bearable.
Forsooth.
An interesting interpretation of freedom that differs from the common perception
Thank you.
I think this is far more cerebral than one might at first imagine .. indeed, on my umpteenth reading I am now firmly convinced it is brilliant ma'am .. Neville ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎👍
There must be so many who live this way. Succinctly expressed, jaunty but with a dark edge.
