Free

Free


Finally discharged from shackles
That held a spirit captive.
Blinded by a sunrise of realization.
Able now, to see truth
And feel whole heartily its clarity.
Bitterness no longer consuming
A soul once devastated by anguish.

The promise of love unkept,
Abandoned by a faithless mortal.
Was nearly sufficient in slaying innocence.
Years of damning ones self
Over the outcome of uncontrollable events
Has come to an abrupt close.

Capable at long last to stand strong,
And look back without regret.
With no tears hindering sight,
Or injury obscuring a heart's freewill.

A slave to fraudulent love no longer.
Set free by benevolence.
Healed by the hand of actuality.
The core of this body is ready again,
To love and relish in its gratifications.

Preceding knowledge of the
Inferior felt emotions,
The favorable moments shared.
Will be remembered,
And the harbor in which all others are measured.

Rebuilt, repaired
Free of agonizing self-pity,
Acknowledgment of independence
The key, the strength
To set free a tortured character
In the play of life.
