Freedom

Freedom

You said we were best friends,
that I knew you better than anyone else,
you claimed you would be there when I needed you,
you said you would be the light to shine the way,
my sister each and every day.

You said this,
but here I am,
clueless and left alone in the dark.

But in darkness I sit no more,
for I shall get up on my own,
and stand on my own two feet,
and be my own light to shine my own way.

And I shall shine bright,
as bright as I can,
for I need you no more.

For I am free.

Free at last!
