Short Poems

I Want To Be Free

I WANT TO BE FREE,
Sang out my soul to the unhearing world.
My mind screamed out,
THE MONSTERS INSIDE
ARE TAKING OVER!!!
I laughed and pushed it away,
Knowing it would hinder me,
Over and over again.
I knew that this would be the end of me.
I WANT TO BE FREE,
My shackles held onto me,
Tightening with every tear I cried.
This was to be the end of it all.
The monsters screamed,
YOU WILL NEVER BE FREE!
I fought with all of me,
Knowing I needed to get away.
I needed to be set free.
The pain was growing,
And I could hear the snickering,
The taunting of my demons,
But I had to fight.
For a small voice said,
You will be free,
Just don't give up.
And so I pushed on,
Feeling my strength slowly coming back.
But I knew it was going to take some time.
The demons screamed,
And howled,
As I told them,
I do not serve you anymore.
You are no longer my master,
I am my own,
And I shall obey no one!
I WILL BE FREE!
they all jumped upon me,
Biting and tearing at my flesh.
Trying to take away my life,
Just like they had taken my freedom,
And I couldn't let them.
They tried and tried.
Everytime I fell,
And everytime I stood up,
Bleeding and sweating.
The sweat stinging my wounds,
The salt,
Reaching parts that weren't supposed to know salty sweat.
I slowly wiped it away,
Knowing I had to keep fighting.
As the last demon bit my neck,
I could feel my soul leaving my body,
But I held on.
I fought to not let go.
As my body,
Received my soul again,
The pain rushed back in,
Reminding me of the scars,
From my battle.
And I knew,
I WAS NOW FREE
