They stripped me of all my value, broke me into their puppet, and threaten everything I hold dear. Secrets keep me under lock and key. Ones no one could know, but I did. The women in this hell with me wonder why I haven’t escaped. Why I’ve only chanced my freedom very few times. That’s because they don’t know why I willingly walked into this world.
