Tangled
once upon a time
upon a time
a time
time
the amount of time one has-
limited-
trapped in the tower of her own emotions
that she built from the ground up
she’s tangled
unnoticed by all
or so she believes-
her depression holds her captive,
she can’t hear them call out her name
rapunzel let down your hair
but she can’t
she’s restrained, uncappable of moving
she’s trying to break free from her isolation but it’s
not so
simple.
simple.
simplicity.
life is simple
life is depicted as a beautiful picture worth living
living
is she even living?
if time is just a mere illusion
and mankind lives to die
why does she feel so captivated to stay
alive?
why can’t Rapunzel just let down her hair?
well that’s because life isn’t a fairy-tale
