There are three locks
That secure the cage
Three cast shadows
Unbreakable in any age
Shame is the first
To snap itself shut
Fear follows close
With deceit rounding the trinity
There are no keys
There is no freedom
When these are in place
You are owned,
You are imprisoned
Only truth
Wielded like a hammer
Can shatter these bonds
This one makes my heart happy in a parallel sort of way. For me, truth took the shape of vulnerability, not a hammer. But on second thought, the shattering impact was similar. maybe I resonant more than I first thought.
