Trapped Behind the Gates

In The Asylum Walls

By SylvesterPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

She was cast away, her name erased,

A girl forgotten, a soul displaced.

Behind cold walls, time stood still,

Each breath a battle, each day a hill.

Shadows whispered, footsteps crept,

Secrets buried, promises left.

A cruel world, a silent plea,

A caged bird longing to be free.

The nurses scorn, the doctors lie,

No one listens, no one tries.

Yet in the dark, a spark remains,

A flicker of hope within her chains.

She dreams of stars beyond the gate,

Of freedom’s call—before it’s too late.

She gathers strength, she makes a plan,

To fight, to run, to take a stand.

But danger lurks, the walls still keep,

A secret buried, dark and deep.

Can she escape? Can she survive?

Or will the truth consume her life?

Step into Eleanor’s world—where every secret has a price.

A story of survival, betrayal, and resilience awaits.

Read now and uncover the truth behind the gates!
