I am free

Today I am free.


I am free of your tight grasp.

I am free of the darkness you have laid upon me.

I am free of your walls that surround me like a prisoner.

I am free of the shattered pieces that have been a part of me for so long.

I am free of the hooks that you cast my way.

I am free of the charm that made me believe something untrue.

I am free of my naive mind unconditionally thinking about you.

I am free of the burning tears that have scarred my cheeks.

Today I am free of you.

Wow this was amzing! I usually don't like poems as much if theres no ryhming in it, because it takes some serious to skill to write a sucsessful poem without it. But you killed it! haha. I also love the picture for this, it matches perfectly. Wonderful job!
