Call me insane, but I'm trapped.

In the confines of my house this time, not my mind.

Maybe both.

"Because you're a girl", replays like a broken cassette tape.

Just bear it. Just breathe.

Wait.

Eventually, you will be able to stretch your toes at the space you get.

I feel like my inexorable fate is to be bound to the restrictions of fear and refusal to admit that the baby is finally walking.

For my sanity, I will leave. 

One day.

I will go travel, laugh and live my life. I will choose my own future and decide my own fate.
