Description

Trapped behind bars within a gaping maw,
A man imprisoned by the teeth and tongue
His arms fused with the metal claw
His voice silenced, his bell rung.

The lips transparent, pink and open
A trap for those who dare to stay in
A place where words wish could escape
Where darkness swallows and makes late

The man, dejected, with head downcast,
A captive of his dire fate,
A prisoner of the deadly contrast,
Between light and dark, silent and spake.

Through pencils, markers, pens, and charcoal,
A.J. Bailey crafted an image, surreal and profound,
An expression of the human soul,
And what is done when the words can’t be found.

For in the midst of darkness, a light does shine,
A beacon of hope and potential,
A chance to break free from your confines,
And speak your mind, victorious and essential.

“Mouth Trapped” is a powerful work of art,
An invitation to escape despair,
To use your strength and play your part,
And let your radiance shine with flare.
