Free
She’s a conversationalist
Sharing wisdom and life’s experiences
Living in her past a bliss of unhappiness
Shackled in the walls of her mind
Longing and visualizing to be free
Existing in her body facing tormenting
She realizes her situation requires mental agility
Wondering why this is happening to me
Doing as I’m told, having to wash and fold
No outlet, I’m trapped inside these walls
I cry out, if you let me be free, I put my faith in thee
Guide me through darkness so I can see
A way out to start a new day, show me a new way
I long to be set free
A chance to just let me be
Set me free, set me free
I’m free to be my own me
About this poem
This expression speaks to a period that “She” longed to be rid of one period in her life to be set free as she stated to be who she wanted to be.
