Eleutheromania

ELEUTHEROMANIA

               I suffered and recovered from depression;
                   but did not know I have an obsession
                with freedom until I read Eleutheromania.
               I thought I only have bouts of Beatlemania.

                     This great desire to be free started
                     when I was a child; but obstructed.
                   At seven, I did not know where to go,
                       so I decided to forget and forgo.

                  At eighteen, I ran away several times
              for I did not know where I belong at times.
             I always felt lost and just wanted to be free
               from living with two contrasting families.

                Soon enough life got more complicated.
              Married twice and divorces contemplated.
           Freeing myself from an insecure jealous guy
             and an alcoholic, to both I said good bye.

Constance La France November 18, 2020 at 6:37 AM Marilene, seems you have been through a lot and have come out the winner, stronger and better _Constance Marilene Evans November 18, 2020 at 8:59 AM Thanks so much, Constance. Yes, I've gone through a lot. It's only the last two years, I feel not running. I have to take it back, I still feel like running from Covid fatigue cause I feel suffocated; but where? LOL. Take care.
