gnarled branch
twined around
my arm
weathered roots
of steel
pinning my arms
to my side
feet to the ground
head bent-hold me
in captivity
but my heart’s beating
strong
within
soul alive
singing odes to grief
crystallized grid
of Light
inside I remain
Me
take me out
throw me low
inside
I have control
you have
what you see
I have what means most
to me

Anyone can take what they see, control what you do, try to change you, but they can never control what you have inside, who you are within.
