Captivity - A Poem

Tethered to the steely shafts of a life-long bondage, my soul writhes & moans in pain…
While the dusky pathos dawns upon every passing day, reminding me of the vows of captivity that I had sworn!
Life seems to have plunged into perpetual darkness where 'self' has become a stranger and Identity…an obsolete word!

My reflection puzzles me when I look into the mirror!
This image is so familiar yet unknown!
The ever-so beaming visage looks appalling...
The pseudo smile just brought upon to bury a mound of grief!
The bubbling energy and exuberance has evaporated into oblivion!
As confidence lay trapped in the lattice of despair!
