I want to break free!

September 26, 2013

A white feather fell upon me today.
A ray of sunshine
A sign of hope
It’s all I need to pass through the dark dungeon.
Though I must tell you how low I truly feel.
Like I’m running to catch the flying time
And the 6 O’ 5 train is missed again.

I’m falling to a place where my fears await me, and my nightmares become alive.
The bitter wind knocks me down to the ground as my feet become numb.
I'm a prisoner for tonight.
Caged by my regrets
It’s fences built with guilt.
Like Tar
It’s a plague that will lead me to death.
They say hell in as afterlife experience.
But I've felt demons in my body
Sucking my soul away
And leaving a sour pain in my shattered heart.
These red eyed monsters won’t stop chewing the thin thread I hang by.







Bruised and Bleeding.
I’ve hurt myself
Craving for light
I start to build my blocks from the start
An ounce of belief
A pinch of determination
A dash of will
This should surely get me through the dark alley.

Pausing
I tilt my head to the sky
And start running towards the next door.
One footstep following the other
I gather my momentum
Running till my feet hurt
Escaping the dark cloud
Leaving behind the murky land
I unwind the tight ropes that hinder me from moving
And unlock the shackles that add weight to my body
