Free from my mind
The rope burned my wrist as I tried to move them, my legs struggled against the chains which kept them there and my chest rose and fell against the weighing pressure of the tight restraints . What had happened last night? My head pounded, as I struggle to remember even the events which led up to this nightmare.Unexpectedly, a sudden bright light spilled into the room making me wince. Was this my doing or some else’s? My eyes eventually came to terms with the new lighting arrangement and allow to examine the room around me. Beside my was an oak bedside table, with a elephant lamp which was bought from Africa. Wait don’t I have this exact lamp and bedside table. I checked out the duvet covering and to my surprise it was the same one I have. My eyes searched the entire room for anything to differ this from my actual room but found none. Is this my room? If so, why am I tied up? My thoughts were rudely interrupted when my door was burst open. My mother cheerily walked into the room until her eyes landed on me and her face dropped.
“ Oh, honey don’t be scared these restraints are for a good reason” she smiled sympathetically.
“ So you knew about this, that I was tied up. So you know why don’t you?” I interrogated her, aggravated by the pain inflicted by these ‘restraints’.
“I’m sorry” was all my mum could muster before she got up and left me alone in prison again. What kind of parent would allow their daughter to be brutally chained to her bed. Out of nowhere my eyes started to become heavier and heavier and before I knew it I had drifted of to sleep.
I awoke later on to the sound of a calming ocean on a warm summers day. What was that? Something was odd about this, it feels different. I cautiously moved my arms to find that they were no longer chained, nor my legs, nor my chest. I was free from the cell in which I was kept a prisoner in: a prisoner of my own mind and body. I let out a sigh of relief, and let a few small tears glide down my face. The last thing I expected when I woke up this morning was to be free from the prison of my mind and the chains. Freedom awaits me!
