Freedom

Revealing emotions so close to the source
Of the pain and the anguish, is par for the course.
Do not display your essence, your soul
For fear of life taking,  and swallowing you whole.
Protect all you have, or treasure most dear
Look over your shoulder, and cover your rear.
The thieves are around you, hidden by lies
They mingle close now, in the heavy disguise.
So take my hand, trust only in me
I’ll find a way to let us be free

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
