Help me Escape

A.N. Williams

Deprived of my freedom,
Shackled at every limb,
Nowhere to run,
No one to turn to...
Tattered and torn,
Bloodied and beaten.
Can no one hear me?
Can no one save me?
Help me escape,
Help me be free.
Rid me of this life,
Of these chains that hold me down...
End this eternal suffering,
Please stop my ceaseless pain.
Allow me to see clearly,
Dry these hopeless tears...
Give me my keys,
Let me unlock myself.
Help me escape,
Help me be free...
