Freedom
My body grasps for air
But my throat slams it from my grasp
My heart pounds on my chest
Wanting to be free
From my body encasing prison
My blood is slowly trickling away
Giving up on my Godforsaken life
However, my veins sing with excitement
Ready to explode out from under my skin
My muscles do not fight this fight though
Instead they collapse right from under me
Paralyzed from fear
What if I can’t be set free?
My eyes roll through my life
Now I know, I am free
Free from my unfortunate life
Free from the breaking of inside
My wings spread out wide
And leave my wretched body
Soaring from above
I scream out my Freedom,
My Happiness
But wait!
My loved ones
The ones that swore they loved me
The people that gave me life
Have no tears in their gleaming eyes
My wings snap and I
Fall…..Fall
Into my broken casket
