A prisoner of domestic abuse, is not in control of their own destiny.

Some days, this bird
believes it will fly.

Amid others,
in society's sky.

Given opportunity,
control aside.

It parts wings
yet, does not soar.

Absent, of self-esteem
it descends, once more.

And, as it falls like moonlight,
over the darkened night.

Is left guessing!
