Escape

I see it, The glimmer of hope in the distance, Beckoning me to follow. So long the chains of despair and helplessness have bound me, My mind making me a prisoner from within. Now there is a crack in the wall and it's crumbling, Escape is in reach. Nothing can stop me except my own fear. I will claw my way through the darkness, And into the light. Onwards and upwards, To new beginnings and freedom, No longer condemned to a life of anxiety, And loneliness. I will finally be me.
