Here's a piece of brevity based off a photo provided for a contest I entered a few years ago. What does the photo say to you?

     she reaches

══════▣◎▣══════
 
she reaches
to define perfection
in their eyes
self sacrifice
spent living life
in third person
inside panes
trying to be
what they want to see
a human held captive
in her own zoo
and all she wants
is to be free
