Captivity

Location

Seventeen years and not one tear shed.
Until it burned my eyes and scorched my soul How Ill never forget that feeling of regretMy eyes never knew so many tearsMy mind escaping itselfLove is no longer emotion but choiceHow it could all go wrong so fastWanting to quit it allRun away and leaveDisappear forever inside myself Not to be seen again The agony of disappointmentThe pain of not being Who you were made to beHiding from those who love you Afraid of those who you love mostIt brought my life to a halt  I shook, I trembled I broke down I had never let myself experience such a feelingIt was always about choices Knowing a fact supported the emotionNo longer could I decide for my heartIt was doneSeventeen and tears shed.
