Set Me Free

December 30, 2013

My anger pours out as I scream for some release.

I want to be gone and away from this beast.

Nothing I say is ever enough for you.

I cannot be content as long as I'm being used.

Set me free I repeatedly scream.

The chains hold me tight as I'm trapped in this dream.

Shaking and crying I feel as if I am dying.

Don't you see what you are doing?

It's the anger inside that you are fueling.

Release me, I plead.

This is what I need.
