Release

I allow myself to dream,
To be in a state of the 
unknown. 
I allow myself to wonder,
And to realize that I am all 
alone.
Walking in the shadows,
Lingering in the past,
There is no way to know
How long this feeling will last.
I walk to find freedom,
A release from  the chains
That binds me in this man 
made kingdom.
To free myself from pain
A hard fought journey
Never to be claimed,
And yet to remain unnamed.
