"Slave"

I am branded,
My mind chained.
I smile,
Placate,
Laugh,
Wander.
I will wander until I die.
That is my punishment.
I am more a slave now than I ever was.
A slave to my past.

Please someone...
Look in my eyes.
See me.
Who I am, not what I was.
Free me.
I can't free myself.


Author's note: Ack! Me trying to write poetry again! (Runs away in terror!) Oh wait... it's my own work... guess I shouldn't be running... (grins) Thanks for reading. Please review!
