When I had looked up what the word “imprisoned “means, here are some of the meanings:
apprehend, detain, hold, incarcerate, lock up, cage, constrain, keep limit, restrain, bottle up, fence in, hold captive, hold hostage, hold in custody, keep captive, lock in, put behind bars, shut in, take prisoner
You may or may not have been incarcerated by the system, but you still can be a prisoner in your own life.
We can be imprisoned by our past, feelings of shame, guilt, food, addictions, our emotions, our thoughts or mind, fears, anxieties, our flesh, even our own home, or anything that we feel no control over or overtaken and captive to.
