Free From You

June 16, 2015

I'm following the faces

of people once known

thinking of the places

where I have grown

 

My heart has been shattered

my mind has been filled

full of thoughts scattered

and remnents of secrets spilled

 

I'm fighting for the freedom

from this feverish flaw

ready to be done

and live in the raw

 

We're growing apart

me and my devilish mind

I'm staying true to my heart

and learning to be kind

 

You were once my lifeline

devious and misleading

I was yours, and you were mine

a sure pair, but truely impeding

 

I was blinded by your beauty

you made promises unkept

as this was your duty

to push me till I wept

 

You caused me such misery

but now I am free

from you and your wizardry

and I can be me

 

So hate you for your trickery

and hate you for your lies

now I have the victory

so let's say our goodbyes

This poem is written about my eating disorder, and breaking free from its grasp. I hope this will inspire you to break free from something- be it an addiction, an abusive relationship, or even a bad habit.
