Set Free

I thought the previous version was a little too long, I feel that this shorter one captures the essence with less story. <><><><><><><><><><> A place to belong, Neither here nor there Shadows of one's self, to shy from scrutiny Aching heart, Unbearable thoughts In its murkiest depth, A little child, crying "Where is my peace?" Cries to be set free. <><><><><><><><><><>

I know how you feel Christy, you just wrote the story of my life..............but there is hope........when I was of age, I moved two thousand miles away from my family and birth place......from a dark dank colorless cloudy world to a tropical paradise.........Of course there were still some problems to work out.....Although I could escape their physical presents, I still had to deal with mental and emotional scars they left in me.........But there is hope, Keep writing, when you do, you become truly Free. Good Luck JTC
