Can somebody take i look at this poem and tell me what it means? ? im so confused ahh

she opens her eyes but is surrounded by darkness
she tries to speak yet her words go unheaded
she claws at a way to get out
she pleads to be set free yet no one acknowledges her
she is lost in her own mind a dark and hollow place
she takes a step towards the edge her mind filled with sorrow
they used her and broke her to the point of no return
she's no longer the same scarred forever
death is her release a sweet hope for a lost girl
she hates herself for breaking for losing her mind
she's giving her all but it's never enough
she takes the final step the one to end it
as her life flashes before her eyes she's devastated she hates herself for being such a failure
she wouldn't go back if it meant becoming a slave to them again she wouldn't

Read the passage from chapter 17 of the prince. and of all princes, it is impossible for the new prince to avoid the imputation of cruelty, owing to new states being full of dangers. hence virgil, through the mouth of dido, excuses the inhumanity of her reign owing to its being new, saying: "res dura, et regni novitas me talia cogunt moliri, et late fines custode tueri."(*) nevertheless he ought to be slow to believe and to act, nor should he himself show fear, but proceed in a temperate manner with prudence and humanity, so that too much confidence may not make him incautious and too much distrust render him intolerable. . against my will, my fate a throne unsettled, and an infant state, bid me defend my realms with all my pow'rs, and guard with these severities my shores. which statement best evaluates machiavelli’s argument? machiavelli ineffectively argues that new princes should do everything in their power to guard their kingdoms. machiavelli effectively argues that new princes must be cruel and cautious in order to protect their new kingdoms. machiavelli effectively argues that new princes should not be cruel and should proceed carefully in their new kingdoms. machiavelli ineffectively argues that new princes should not show fear, but should be self-confident and intolerable.
