No Longer
NO LONGER
You no longer own me.
I am no longer a slave to your words
that held me shackled
behind these invisible prison bars.
I have changed the lock
to the key you carried for so long,
warden of my emotions.
I am no longer bound
by your life sentence of unworthiness.
Your gavel of judgement has been silenced.
I can squint at the light
flooding my chambers of darkness,
walk the halls of the past
Past the mental cages.
To newfound freedom
