Just To Survive

I am now free.  
I have loosed the chains from me.  
I leap on the lessons of my old life.  
I now have morals that I can trust in this new life.  
This question remains:  “Why am I here?”  
Do I have so much that others fear?  
It sickens me like polluted air I breathe.   
I constantly want to leave.  To run.  To hide.  
Perhaps get away.  Just to survive.
