Open your book and read your story

Is it only words you see, a made up tale written upon white lined paper with no relatable history

A script to read, a new movie to be put on the big screen for other eyes to see

Unfasten, unlock, release come back to reality

Mistakes were made which rearranged, reorganized, delayed and reshuffled your future

There were snakes in the grass that found out how to use you and abuse you

There were loved ones who seen you fall who showed no care at all

You become the current events of the family reunions

No one bothered to make a phone call

Your walls are closing in on you and the sun is going down

The storm is getting closer and closer

You are the only one who can save you now

The pain that you hide internally has kept you on shaky ground

Despair, sadness, gloominess tries to creep in

Continuous tears of regret has damn near set in

The lurking eyes are watching you just waiting for you to say

“I QUIT”

Your mind begins to believe failure is your destiny

The rope is hanging over the closet door just waiting to be used

To squeeze the once so precious life right out of you

You reach for that killer, the cowards way out

A small voice inside of you tells you to turn around

 The sun has returned in full view shining upon you

 You begin to silently sing that beautiful melody

“I just can’t give up now, I’ve come to far from where I started from”

Now:

Break free from the bondage, oppression, repression, burdens that hold your lonely soul from victory

No longer dwell in what’s past, history, over and done, ancient out of your control

Represent change, transformation, revolution that can make you whole

Break free
