Breaking Free

a poem

By Slgtlyscatt3redPublished 9 months ago 1 min read
A wax-melting painting that I created, symbolizing freedom.

Breaking free

from the lies they told me

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the chains that bind me

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the corruption beside me

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the sadness inside me

breaking free.

Breaking free

from preconceived notions

breaking free.

Breaking free

from sympathy oceans

breaking free.

Breaking free

from my obsession

breaking free.

Breaking free

from my depression

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the deception

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the judging eyes

breaking free.

Breaking free

from what they surmise

breaking free.

Breaking free

from the old me

breaking free.

Breaking free

from society

breaking free.

Breaking free

from what's buried inside

from the feelings I hide

from the pain

from the trauma

from the never ending drama

my life has been a series

of these, my whole life

has been about

discovering these mysteries

answering the question

"why did they hurt me?"

but instead, today

I'm breaking free

I'm moving on

to become my best me.
