Ties that Bind
Ties that bind,
suffocating,
defining sharp edges,
cut beneath,
my fingers.
Tiny pieces of glass.
Embedded.
Becoming part of my skin.
Scars dance across,
the open landscape of my being,
defiance,
resistance,
standing tall,
integrity intact,
solitude as one,
against the injustice of you.
