"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all."

She's crying out for help.
But no one is there.
Huddled in the corner,
she's alone, and very scared.

She swipes the tears away.
Each defiant drop.
As she cradles herself closely,
She slowly begins to lock.

On the chains, she is bound.
And she struggles to be free.
But she's stuck in that place,
and stuck in her dreams.
