Road To Freedom

It was early May On a bright sunny day I met a physician Who I took to my prison She gave me a pill And said I was Ill It would help with the pain By fixing my brain At first I didn’t trust But I knew that I must So I gave it a try And let out a cry I would face my fears With so many tears I started to crave That I could be brave I am out of my cell I just had to tell What a gift it’s been Something I’d never seen She taught me to cope And how to have hope She said to forgive So then I could live Talk after talk I learned how to walk She listened and heard And now I’ll be cured She knows how to care And she knows when to share And without her wisdom I would not know freedom It’s been five long years That I’ve tacked my fears It’s been trial and error But it’s fixing my terror I’ve been learning to fly And given it a try Oh what a treat For such a big feat Soon I’ll say goodbye And I know that I’ll cry Please be my friend Right to life’s end
