A prison like no other,
where walls and bars
do not exist.

No guards to make
their rounds.

No dogs to track him,
should he run.
No alarms for them
to sound.

No jailer tasked
to guard the key.
No towers and
no armory.

Nothing to hinder
his escape.
Just him and
his choice to make.

And yet he sits
perfectly still.

The model prisoner
with broken will.

Ensnared within his mind until
Hope comes to set him free.
No better way to stop someone in their tracks than to convince them they can't move...

And who better to convince you than the one person who knows you the best?

Don't trust that face in the mirror.

I hope I give you hope, love. Too often I feel like I can't do anything for you when you're trapped.
