Soon I'Ll Be Free

I cried thru the days And I cried thru the nights For so many years I have shed my tears The days were long The nights were short I was always tired But wished I was wired I kicked with my feet I punched with my hands All that pain With nothing to gain My enemies were many My friends were few I wanted to hide And never go outside I didn’t want to live I wanted to die My energy was zapped I felt I had snapped My fears were strong My faith so weak Inside I was mad But outside so sad I forgot the doors When I built my walls As high as the sky So no one could spy With so many lies I fought hard for the truth And now that I see Soon I’ll be free

Excellent write of so many of our lives... If you let it life can get better... Always look over the walls toward the light.

Chin up girl friend! The best is yet to come. After the storm, comes the calm. Your storm is coming to an end, from the mere fact you are writing your feelings. God bless. One love Joy Wells.
