Key

I'm lying on this empty floor
Alone
But happy ..
Happy to be alive and breathing
Relieved to be free from these chains in my mind that have been weighing me down for as long as I can remember ..
I was a prisoner of my own mind
And the worst part about it was the gut wrenching feeling of no escape
No matter where I ran I carried it with me ...
I was living
But I felt dead
Dead inside ..

I thought there was no hope for Me until I realised that I was the only one in charge of my destiny ..
Although my mind was imprisoned
I soon came to the terms that I had the key ..
The key to unlock myself from the isolation and be set free ..
Like a catapillar breaking free from the cocoon...

I had the power all along but couldn't see it ..
I see it now
I see it clearly ..

I lie on this floor smiling up to the ceiling
Alone in the dark

But I don't feel alone anymore ..
