Oppressed
OPPRESSED
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
" Life and feeling "
OPPRESSED
I feel so confined inside this sarcophagus that is my life.
Moments of highs, valleys so low.
I need to breathe.
To just be.
Be me for once
To have a clear mind
A driven vision
To shape it in techno color
A need for action of some value
I cannot sit here any longer
To wither away like a dying flower
I need to nourished
To be fed
Feed my mind with food for the soul
To drink in the sweet elixir of life
To metamorph into more then just a wall flower
I need to be a part of the grander scale
I will not be oppressed any longer
I will stand up for myself
Throw these death shrouds
I will not surcome to this disease called oppression
I will do more then just survive
I will live, laugh, love
I will fight for what is mine
The right to be myself
