17.

Break Free

I’m struggling, kicking and flailing
I’m screaming inside, and crying
I have to break free

My head breaks the surface
Now the test- Can I stay afloat?
Or will I sink back down into my abyss?

Beneath me, those long, green, putrid tentacles
Reach up and grab me hard
Those vile fingers of my past

With a vice-like grip, they begin to tug,
Pulling me back to the deep blackness
-The dark abyss of my memories

NO!
You can’t drag me down again
NO!
You can’t control my life again

I’m running free now
Free from my tears, from all my pain
I’m free. Now and for ever…
