Unseen strings are holding psyche
engulfing me from all sides
eyes look terrorized, face is pale
waiting to know — have I done a mistake?

Invisible chains overpowering
mind and heart
conscience does not allow
to break apart

Perfection
is what is required of me
Wondering

Will I ever be chain-free?
