I Exist in Your Fortress: A Cry from the Shadows

A sorrowful crowned woman stands in shadow before a barred window inside a dark stone fortress.

Have you ever felt trapped inside a fortress built by someone else’s power?

I exist,
inside your harsh fortress;
the sun never shines on my face.

I am kept,
both chaste and majestic;
I’m a figure to be ridiculed.

I wonder,
will I escape from here;
to be rescued from this icy place.

—H, crying from the shadows

This poem follows a 3–6–9 syllabic structure – a form inspired by Nikola Tesla’s theory of energy, rhythm and repetition.
