Cory Long Poet Free verse

Freedom

Freedom
Held captive by her mind.
Alone scared and terrified.
Hide your feelings from the world
While shackles hold your ankles still.

Venture to unknown lands
Where knowledge has a plan
Struggle every day 
Trying to find your way. 

Years were buried by the pain.
Drowning herself in pills and shame.
Take a stand and believe
Freedom is just another key
