Setting Myself Free

By Nehema

Encased in this vacant prison

Agonizing

Fists hurting

From pounding and clawing

The walls run red with my blood

Adrenaline

Heart racing

Fear shredding

My soul apart

Searing

Pain in my head

Can't concentrate

I've forgotten who I am

Why I'm here

Scorching

Throat on fire

Screaming and shouting

Trying to be heard

Aching

All over my body

Muscles throbbing from overlong stress

Too much fighting......

I CAN'T MAINTAIN THIS ARTIFICIAL LIFE

Time to give in

Relax

Let the murky water envelop me

In merciful darkness

Death

Leads to rebirth

Renewel of the Soul

Replenish what was lost

Start anew

Rekindle that lost love for life

ABSOLUTION IS MINE

NOt so sure your freedom will be to your liking, otherwise why all the trials and tribulations beforehand, when we could just take the shortcut, but for fear of the unknown? Anyway, you belong to us now so suck it up Robyn, this was fine as all your stuff always is (and you too)!

I love you dwells, this prison I'm breaking out of is one of my own building. I spent the last 15 years building it because I was scared of my identity. No longer afraid, I'm ready to face the world on my terms. I appreciate your support & your work gives me strength, as well as others here - XXOO

...desperation can be an enemy or an ally, I think. it can lead to your downfall or force you into correcting your position. this is strong, the title being that which we all want to achieve...
