Locked In

What If the door never locked?-

Or the windows never closed?-

Would we try and break free?-

Or would we be so content and comfortable with our prison that it becomes home?-

Are we even really free?-

Yes the doors aren't locked and the windows are open, but once we walk away from our cage what's to say our minds and memories are ever free?-

To be locked in could be of the mind as well as of the body-

We are taught to use our minds but no one teaches us what to do when our minds use us-

We become slaves to our feelings and thoughts that even the medication they shove down our throats can't free us-

We are to be dissected and picked at that all we have left to rely on IS is our mind-

We may believe the doors are unlocked and the windows are open but we are to forever be LOCKED IN.
