This is a modern interpretation of the Lady of Shalott. The title is a play on the fact that the Lady Shalott was literally imprisoned in a tower, and without the right to get an abortion today a woman’s body may become her tower/prison
Her Body is Her Tower
Her life begins to ebb away
bound by in chains by the states
hour by hour; day by day
Trapped inside; forced to stay
to carry this burden became her fate
her life begins to ebb away
The only hope offered is to pray
sorry and bitterness solidify into hate
hour by hour; day by day
All her emotions shades of gray
held down by this heavy weight
her life beings to ebb away
All her nerves start to unfray
is she could end this she would not hesitate
hour by hour; day by day
For their glory and power she must pay
for her dreams it is too late
her life beings to ebb away
hour by hour; day by day
Labyrinth of the Mind
