Rapunzel

By SMYGO4EVA

Mercurial in mood

Immutable in personality

A beauty in golden locks

Separating herself from others

With a tower

A tower of isolation

Pride

& Self-pity

An opponent from darkness

A metamorphosis in a human being

Stagnant in their roles

Seeing her unproven happiness

Within loneliness

Clouds dark and sleek

Breaking her obstinate temperament

A princess whose tiara is shattered

The mirror of recognition cracking

And creaking

And finally into millions of pieces

Chained inside the tower

Of shadows she created upon herself

Darkness in the hopes of conquest

One by one, memories of

Companionship and newborn love

Fade from her mind

Free will now forever an illusion

Chained to the stone of the tower

Blond locks cascading her form

Voiceless

Breathless

Similar to Rapunzel

Her destiny is sealed

In the hourglass and the tower

But unlike Rapunzel

No prince would save her
