Break Free

Will I break free from my past? Or will I let the chains tie me down? For I have been confided in a small room for hours trying to break free from this obstacle. My mind is stuck ,but my heart is trying to break free. The bars are too small and I cannot break through to the other side. For the other side is where I want to be. Where I can be free from my past and not be weighed down by negativity. But now I realize I can slowly break free by saying this statement: I am beautiful just the way I am and don't need to change for anyone.
