Oppressed

OPPRESSED A Poem by Debbie_Philly " Life and feeling " OPPRESSED I feel so confined inside this sarcophagus that is my life. Moments of highs, valleys so low. I need to breathe. To just be. Be me for once To have a clear mind A driven vision To shape it in techno color A need for action of some value I cannot sit here any longer To wither away like a dying flower I need to nourished To be fed Feed my mind with food for the soul To drink in the sweet elixir of life To metamorph into more then just a wall flower I need to be a part of the grander scale I will not be oppressed any longer I will stand up for myself Throw these death shrouds I will not surcome to this disease called oppression I will do more then just survive I will live, laugh, love I will fight for what is mine The right to be myself By: Debbie Kelly 2007
