The Hostage Cage

A cruel voice once said: 'This is how you deserve to be treated.' But cages are lies, not destiny.

Identity Liberation

Metaphorical Narrative

A boy watched a siege movie where people survived on scraps. Then someone whispered, “This is how you deserve to be treated.”

That sentence built a cage in his mind. Years later, the man still felt trapped inside it.

But cages made of words can be erased.

Core Insight

Cruelty implants false standards that freeze identity. Liberation doesn’t fix the cage; it deletes it. Permission is yours to walk out, untouched.

Saturday Experiment

  1. Recall one phrase of cruelty still echoing.
  2. Write it on paper. Tear it up.
  3. Say aloud: “This cage is erased.”

Sunday Reflection

  • What cage-phrases did they uncover?
  • How did it feel to erase them?
  • Did their body feel lighter afterward?
