Trapped in my shadow

And caged in the darkness.

The black that consumes my heart

Now threatens to tear me apart.

The scar marked across my soul

I lug thickset gloom on my shoulders

From the chains that hold me

Back from the freedom I had so longed for.

I want to be free.

A shed tear makes its way down my cheek

As this train of thought sinks down real deep.

I stare at my reflection in hopes

Of finding the person that I once knew

I gaze intently at the shattered pieces

Of my heart,

Where they lay lifeless and scattered on the floor.

I sit the dark, the jail you put me in

Clenching my fists, trying to hold my anger within.

Memories flood back into my head

The way I was treated, inside I was dead.

Time halts as I relive my recollection of the past

That I thought had abandoned me before.

Fury takes over me

Like the when the angered sun blazes

I forcefully pull away, snapping the

Chains that held me in its grasp for ages

The world spins around me

As I hold my head in my hands

A tiny smile makes its way on my face as realization and reality struck me.

One thought conquered my mind at that moment

……….

I am free.
