Set Me Free

This is the poem I wrote a couple of months ago...

Slip on these worn shoes,

And try to see all the hell we’ve been through,

Don’t tell me it could be worse,

Cause this scene feels like it’s been rehearsed,

I don’t expect you to understand,

For your life is like a wonderland,

As I grip my chest,

My whole life is unrest,

For every fear holds me back,

And I wish that this was just a picture from Kodak,

Everyday a little more faith is lost,

And my beliefs and thoughts are all criss-crossed,

With the thought of what’s next?

Has my mind all perplexed,

If I could just cry it all away,

And tell myself tomorrow starts a new day,

My smile doesn’t last,

For it breaks just like glass,

I have so much love to give,

But first I need to learn how to live,

I’ve been held back for too long,

And haven’t seemed to figure out where I belong,

I lost myself a couple of years ago,

I’ve just been able to put on a good show,

For every tear that rolls down my face,

I feel like my life has always been a chase,

I only pray when I’m in desperate need of life in me,

I just want to be completely set free.
