Breaking Free

I feel trapped in a shell and want to get out It get so frustrating I want to shout Trying to figure out what put me here in the first place Before I leave this cramped little space Not wanting to return to what put me here Trying to avoid my constant fear Of people hurting me... Keeping me from who I want to be I need to realize that I deserve the best And no longer settle for anything less I want to escape without looking back I want to remain on a new solid track Happy, without fear and totally free The part of me I miss to be How do I get rid of this shell? Once upon a time I knew oh so well But now I can’t seem to figure it out Why, where, what is this all about? Set me free for I am stuck Praying hard for better luck I need to escape, this overworked mind I need to break out and need to unwind For now all I can do is pray That life works out in an amazing way For now all there is to say Is in this cramped shell, I can no longer stay Time to focus on me Be all I ever wished to be While I’m finally breaking free

Your poem has captured the spirit of “live for today" with words that awaken the adventurer that dwells in the hearts of most people, which through neglect has been allowed to remain dormant far too long. Emile.
